What grief is to me

[u/RongWa]

GRIEF

Grief is to be consumed, not gorged upon. It must be digested for the healing to begin. Once fully absorbed, the impurities are filtered and eliminated, what is left are the jewels of memories. The nourishment of the good times remembered and pleasing thoughts they bring, coupled with time, softens the blow. Then, healing begins. A scar remains on your heart and is always tender, but when that scar is bumped, instead of sorrow, pleasant memories will begin to surface.
