“Grief, I’ve learned, is really just love. It’s all the love you want to give, but cannot. All that unspent love gathers up in the corners of your eyes, the lump in your throat, and in that hollow part of your chest. Grief is just love with no place to go.”
-Jamie Anderson
I now realize that to lose someone we have lost (and not just in death) does not erase the love we have felt for them. It simply moves the object of our love out of reach. Grief is the space left behind, and it is the act of loving someone who is gone.
