Grief

To grieve someone doesn’t just mean to cry or to mourn endlessly. It doesn’t mean that life doesn’t go on. It does not necessarily mean that we don’t accept the fact that this person is no longer…anything.

To grieve to me, is when I think about the memories that include the people I cared for with joy mixed with sorrow.  
To grieve to me, is the fact that no new memories with them will ever be created.  

To grieve to me, is that I can no longer pick up the phone and tell you what stupid stuff I did yesterday, and all the other nonsense!
To grieve to me, is having to talk about you in past tense.

To grieve to me, is the fact that I am the one who will see your child grow up, whereas you won’t. 
To grieve to me, is that I can never again tell you that I love you.

I miss you.
