When confronted with grief, people often say “it gets better with time.” Although this statement comes from a place of kindness and concern, my initial thought is “no it doesn’t.”
Nevertheless, time has somewhat softened the impact of my grief, enabling me to become more aware of and prepared for the myriad of ways it shows up.
Time has also taught me to sit with my sadness, treating it with a greater gentleness, as I recognize that I am not defined by my sorrow, but rather can coexist with it.
