Grief is in the body. Neurologically and physiologically. It's way more than a 'state of mind' - I'm not sure we learn enough about that.

Thank you for sharing this. It's going to stay with me today. ❤️

Thank you for sharing from your heart. Your words feel so relatable. Grief has covered me in a thick layer these past few years, accentuated by the unavoidable love and grief of parenting. These heartstrings feel constantly pulled. 💕
