As far as I can see, grief will never truly end. It will become softer over time, more gentle, and some days will feel sharp. But grief will last as long as love does - forever. It's simply the way the absence of your loved one manifests in your heart. A deep longing, accompanied by the deepest love. Some days, the heavy fog may return, and the next day it may recede once again. It's all an ebb and flow, a constant dance of sorrow and joy, pain and sweet love. In the meantime, be strong, but gentle with yourself when you remember the loss.
