When grief arrives before goodbye, it’s as if your heart has suddenly become frozen in time. Every memory comes flooding back all at once, the ones you treasure and the ones you’ve tried to bury. Every bit of hurt and resentment forces its way to the surface, yet boundless love and appreciation begin to rise above it all. You’re left not knowing how to gather a lifetime into final words, how to speak the things you’ve held inside for so long. Maybe some goodbyes from this world are meant to be felt more than spoken, for now.
“He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.” Psalms 147:3 (NKJV)
