Grief lives its own life

I found this quote on a friend’s Facebook feed, and it stuck with me because I could relate to it. It’s so much like how I experienced the grief after my husband died two years ago.

“Grief is like glitter. You can throw a handful of it in the air, but when you try to clean it up, you will never get it all. Even long after the event, you will still find glitter, tucked in the corners. It will always be there….somewhere.” – Author Unknown

It makes you stop and think. I’ve experienced grief like something that comes and goes. Sometimes I only remember all the positive and beautiful memories, and I look through pictures and feel grateful for the time we spent together. And sometimes grief just hits me like lightning! Just when I thought I’m doing pretty alright and I’m not completely out of grief like in the beginning after he died. Then the grief wave hits me and I’m “suprprised” every time. It lives its own life, even though you greive, learn how to handle the gief, living your life to your best abilities, its always going to be there. Grief and loss. It’s so strange how someone can just dissapear when they die, but he will always be in my heart!
