“Grief is the soul's way of remembering love; let it sweep through you like a river, cleansing what time has clouded.”
We have been taught to treat grief as a malfunction. Something to be fixed, shortened, medicated, moved through as quickly as possible. We speak of "getting over" loss as though grief were a wall to be scaled and left behind.
But grief is not a problem. It is a response. It is the natural consequence of having loved something real.
When you grieve, you are not broken. You are human. You are experiencing the full weight of what it means to have cared about something that can be lost.
The question is not how to stop grieving. The question is how to grieve well — how to let the grief move through you rather than calcify inside you.
