He’s absolutely right!! Since I lost my dad in 2019. It seems like things haven’t been right! Everyone telling me it’ll get better! In time it’ll get better?! Seems like as time gone on it hasn’t! There is mourning and there is grief! Those are two different things so I found out? I still can’t stop mourning my dad… I know grief is a place you shouldn’t stay in! And I try not to! Because I know my dad wouldn’t want me to 🥺😔 but some days it’s so hard! 😢 I am sending out love and peace to everyone out there who feels the same! 🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸

my 4 year old son died in my arms in June of 2018. there's never a day that passes that I don't grieve, and yearn for him. time doesn't heal all wounds. you just learn a new way of living.

I have lost my entire family and this past January I lost my significant other! I know how much it hurts. I lost one brother in 96, my father in 07, another brother in 09, my mother in 20 and the love of my life in 01/25! He's right about never getting over it!

loss is such a profound hurt. We love hard and we grieve hard. Some days are good and some aren't. I still cry every time I think about one of my loved ones who's gone now. Love your people and say it and show it often. You never know when the last time will be.

Such a great way to express your grief . I tell people you learn to live with the pain, inside , you are a different person , something has changed

He is right, you won't ever get over it ~ accept it & embrace it. I think of someone who died and I think about them every day.

only advice is give your life to the Lord...our kids have grown up with to high percentage of sadness and fear...particularly from the internet and the government.... These kind of things said are not good for the children or the human beings that suffer...🙏pray for the people that are negative...that's what Jesus w ants. also The immaculate Mother, The Lord, and the Holy Spirit 🙏

Completely agree. My sister died in May 2001and I could hardly breathe for 4 years. I think of her every day and sometimes when I'm multitasking and have some questions I think, well, I'll just call Patty, she'll know.

my dad killed himself when I was 9. I'm almost 37 now. it's true. I've never gotten over it. I just learned to swallow the pain better over the years. since that day, there hasn't been one day in all those years where I dont think about him. not a single one. he was 38 yrs old.

He’s right. They say time heals. That’s not true. As time goes on, you are just able to deal mentally better with the memories whether they are good ones or bad ones. It lives with you the rest of your life.

it is so very true. because when someone u love dies it changes you and not necessarily for worse but it definitely changes you inside forever. but we have to know and understand that this life is not forever and can be gone in the blink of an eye so love as much as u can when u can bc we never know who we might lose or when our last day may be

Time does not dull the grief. What it does is teach you how to function while grieving.
