Restorative Grief by Mandy Capehart

If you grew up a little feral and self-reliant, maybe grief is giving you a chance to ask a different question: not “How do I get back to who I was?” but “What kind of life do I want to build now?”

You do not have to have the perfect words to be a safe place for someone, you just have to be willing to stay.

What if some of the biggest grief in our lives comes from changes we are actually happy about?

Hope often returns through attention before it returns through feeling.
