Dear Grief, I lost someone very dear to me as an 11 year old kid. They adored me. I adored them. Taken too soon. Still loved and adored to this day. Still a part of me 41 years later.

Dear grief, losing my Dad at 15 won't stop me from defining my life with love, joy and connection. Losing two babies didn't stop me from hoping for a healthy child - and now I have two, and my husband and children are the lights of my life...

Dear Grief, as a constable I used to walk families through death. I'd be by their side as they cried and I'd say 'I'm sorry for your loss'...

When I looked closely enough at the imprint you left behind, I realised that it contained instructions to make those lost immortal.
Thanks, I'm trying to follow them.

Dear Grief, you overwhelmed me for several years that I will never get back, I hope I can continue to learn and grow from those years.

Grief tries to remove the foundation of our character, we will not let it do this
