Yeah still...
People say grief lasts a year. Or it lasts 2 years. Or 5 years or 7 years but the uncomfortable as hell truth is that grief’s time frame is variable and coincides directly with the number of years I’ll be alive. People don’t realize that grief never really leaves you instead becoming a deep part of who you are as a being because people stop talking about it… At 5 years I posted in a grief support group how I still miss him some days so badly it physically hurts and the comment following was how ‘Wow. That’s not encouraging at all. 5 years?!’ Yes, and more. I’ll let you know when that changes. But there are still days when he’s all I can think about or even attempt to not think about. I just don’t usually let people know that. Wouldn’t wanna be ‘not encouraging’, now would we?
