THINGS I LEARNED AFTER YOU DIED
Life can be very cruel
One second can change everything
Love is the only thing that matters
A heart can break
You learn who your friends are
Silence is deafening
The body doesn't run out of tears
Self-care is important
I have no time for bullshit
Patient people are my people
Not everything happens for a reason
Love is eternal
Time doesn't heal
Grief is crushing
Grief is crushing
Grief is crushing

Life has a way of teaching us harsh truths, especially in the wake of loss. When someone dear passes away, the world seems to shift dramatically, leaving us to grapple with the intense reality of our emotions. In those moments, we come to understand the fragility of life and the power of love. Our hearts may break, but in that breaking, we see the depth of our capacity to care.
Loss often reveals the true nature of our friendships. In silence, we find that words are inadequate to express our sorrow, and yet, the presence of a friend can speak volumes. The tears we shed remind us of our humanity, but they also emphasize the necessity of self-care.
In grief, our tolerance for pretense fades, and we seek out those who are genuine and patient. We realize that not everything is meant to make sense, and that sometimes, we must accept things without finding a reason.
Through it all, the essence of love endures, a constant amidst the turmoil. Time may not heal, but it allows us to grow around our grief, integrating the pain into the fabric of our lives.
Grief is relentless, and its weight is felt deeply. Yet, it also signifies the profound love we hold, a love that remains unbroken by death.
