Grief is Love

Today, I was in class and received a text from my amazing mother informing me that my Grandma Pugh had just passed away. She had stopped eating about a week ago and was quite old (96 and almost 97), so her passing was anticipated. I don't think any anticipation for loss or other forms of heartbreak can eradicate the sorrow and grief you feel. There are many things that can help ease the pain, though.

I know that we never have to mourn alone. We will always have someone there for us. Having someone to confide your feelings and sorrows is a crucial part of the grieving process. It is so important that we remember that we always have a loving Savior on our side. He loves us and understands completely the pain and grief we feel.

Grief can come from many different forms of heartbreak. It can come from losing a friend or family member, going through tough relationships, or losing anything you truly love. Which brings me to my title. "Grief is love". Grief comes from feeling love so strong, that living without that love physically there, it is heartbreaking. If we didn't have grief we wouldn't have love. Love is so essential to this life on earth.

Personally, I would rather feel the grief from losing something or someone, than never have felt the love and happiness that they brought. I know that grieving is hard and rarely is the light at the end of the tunnel visible, but I promise that it is there. There is always going to be light and happiness reaching out to assist our growth from the heartbreaking trials that life brings.

Thank you so much for reading. I hope you all have an amazing day. Here are a few quotes that I really love and have helped me through hard grieving times.
