Still sending love. Never stopped.
I know it is rough, and it is ok to not feel ok.

I still maintain that cross stitch is old lady pixel art.
And there is nothing wrong with that.

Sorry I can join in. Apparently I am still banned for life from your Minecraft server.
It is for the best, I suppose.
I would do it again.

Is my lifetime ban from Monty's Minecraft server still in effect?

Every time my consciousness bobs back to the surface, there's the temptation to just get up & watch a video or do something. It is a struggle to keep myself in bed and TRY to sleep. During the the day, if I sit down and relax, I begin to drift off. Grief is a physical process, & my brain's in it.

Happy birthday! You earned it.
By surviving!

This is all normal. All part of coping. I will cry right after I eat something. Work it out. No shame, no guilt, no holding it in. It will hurt, but that's what I need to do.
Moving along the trail.

Treasure the good memories, share them. Tell their stories, sing their songs. Light a candle, dance a dance. Raise a glass, breathe deep of the incense of memories.
This is part of us. Part of the human experience. We have always grieved. It's necessary. Don't let anyone tell you to get over it.

There is no progression of stages, or at least they aren't a linear process. You bounce between them, revisit stages, sometimes get ambushed by them.
When does it stop hurting?
It doesn't. The hurt diminishes, but it never completely goes away. But we can supplement it with joy.
Remember the good.

It is a journey. But the path is different for everyone, and even different every time we walk it.
There is no schedule, no deadline, it isn't always linear.
Sometimes it sneaks up on you. Days, weeks, even months later.
It doesn't always lead to growth. Sometimes it can only be survived.
It hurts.
