Take that grief you have. Gather up that lifetime of hurt, and hold it in your arms.
And acknowledge: yes. Those things happened. They cannot be undone. You can't change the past.
Acknowledge: there was a reason why things went the way they did. There was a sequence of events that led to those decisions and those events.
Acknowledge: it hurts. It is okay that it hurts. Pain is an inevitable part of life. Notice how it feels in your body. Maybe it's a tightness in your throat. Maybe it's a burning in your eyes. Maybe it's an ache in your heart. This is what grief feels like. It's natural, normal, and okay to feel it when grief hits you.
So feel it. Let it in. It's only once you let it in that it can pass through you and start to heal.
