Everyone experiences grief at some point in their lives, but what are the stages of grief? Understanding your emotions may help you cope with these intense f...

Grief has no script.

No timeline,
no right or wrong way to carry it.

Some days,
it’s just a passing thought,
other days,
it’s all you can feel.

It comes and goes,
but never really leaves.

It stays in the songs they loved,
in the jokes only they would laugh at,
in the habits you picked up
just because they were once there.

Maybe grief is just love
with nowhere to go,

so it stays—

not to haunt us,
but to remind us
they were real.

When you die, don't worry about your body...
Your relatives and funeral staff will do it. I know this first hand. I’ve done it myself…

They will take you out of the house and deliver you to the funeral home of your family’s choice.
They will take off your clothes
They will wash you
They will dress you up
They will even apply makeup to make you look presentable
Many will come to the funeral to honor you.
Some will even cancel their plans and ask for leave to go to the funeral.

Your things--things you hate to be borrowed will be sold, donated or burned.
Your keys
Your tools
Your books
Your CDs, DVDs, games
Your collections
Your clothes...

And be sure the world won't stop and cry for you.
The economy will continue.
You will be replaced in work. Someone with the same or even better ability will take your place.

Your property will switch to heirs.
And don't doubt the small and big things you have done in your life will be spoken of, judged, doubted and criticized.

People who only knew your face will say, ′′Poor thing!"

Your good friends will cry for a few hours or several days, but then they will laugh again.

Your pets will get used to the new owner.

Your pictures will be hanging on the wall for a while, then they will be put on furniture and finally stored at the bottom of the box.

Someone else will sit on your couch and eat from it.

Deep pain in your home will last a year, two, maybe ten... Then you will join the memories and then your story will end.

It will end among people, end here, end in this world.

But your story begins in a new reality... in your life after death.

The things you once have will lose their meaning. You cannot bring your earthly possessions here.

the beauty of your body
last name
property
loans
working position
bank account
the house
the car
academic titles
Classmates
trophies
Friends of the world
man / woman
the kids
the family...

In your new life, you will only need your soul.
The only property that will last is the soul.

I could allow the grief to bury me alive.
Just let the loss of you
crush whatever’s left of me.

But you’re not a memory,
you’re a light still shining.
Burning bright, and something I carry with me.

When I speak of you,
I do so without remorse.
I beam with pride.
I speak of your exuberance.
I give them your energy.
I tell them you were art embodied.
Dancing avant-garde, bold and beautiful. Where you went, sunshine followed.
I tell them that you made life musical.
Every smile, a song.
Every laugh, a celebration.

Your life, your light,
changed me in the greatest of ways.
All the love shared between us doesn’t cease simply because you’re not beside me.
You’re within me.
My skin and bones.
My heart and soul.
The air I breathe.
The sun I stand beneath.
You are all around.
You are everything that made me.
And that sort of light never fades.
I'll take all the love we shared,
and continue sharing it.

This is so true.
I look up at the sky in ways I never did when he was alive.

Sky searching.
Soul searching.

Night after night I’d look into the blackness and I would think of him. I’d send my love up into the darkness.

I’d cry.
I’d miss him.
I’d talk to him and I’d wonder how someone so alive could be gone.

Miscarriage is not simply a stepping stone on your path or a setback on your journey to building a family. ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Often with miscarriage we focus on the loss, the grief and sadness. Today, I want to focus on something else, how it started. Your pregnancy started with a positive pregnancy test that grew into something more. A deep love for the baby growing inside your belly and a hope for the future.

Your pregnancy was rooted in love and hope, before the grief and despair showed up.

Today in honor of Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day I invite you to share the name(s) of your baby(s), below. Not from a place of grief and sorrow, but from a place of remembering and honoring the love.

If you do not have a name to share, please share a heart to represent the love you and your baby shared.

Let's remember today, and everyday, that miscarriage matters, because our babies mattered.

One of my favorite quotes on grief is from Jamie Anderson-

"Grief, I've learned, is really just love. It's all the love you want to give, but cannot. All of that unspent love gathers in the corners of your eyes, the lump in your throat, and in the hollow part of your chest. Grief is just love with no place to go."

“I hope death is like being carried to your bedroom when you were a child & fell asleep on the couch during a family party. I hope you can hear the laughter from the next room.”
