Grief is like love with nowhere to go.
This is why it hurts so bad and for so long.
It’s like having your heart thorn apart from the inside.

[elizabethnewton]

I have left the earth,
But I am still about,
I kiss your cheek at night,
When your light is out.

I am the wind,
That blows in your hair,
I am spirit now,
I am near.

I sit on your shoulder,
I see all that you do,
My body is gone,
Still my love is with you.

When times are tough,
I hold your hand,
You are never alone,
Together we stand.

If you are in trouble,
I shall help you out,
I am your instinct
When you doubt.

I am the angel
Assigned to you,
You will never be alone,
For I am next to you.

Lost my wife 3 years ago. She was the love of my life, and I can easily say that the most difficult days with her, were a paradise, compared to whatever else I have experienced.

I am nothing now. I am not even a shadow of myself. I am a man desperately cupping every single memory of her, like a man cupping ash in fear that it might blow away. I have no reason to exist, and the greatest wish and only wish I have, is to lie beside her.

The price for the greatest love in your life, is a grief you cannot possibly imagine. So love fully, unconditionally and with everything you have. Because if you do not, the rest of your days will be spent regretting you did not.

thank you, i am going through a rut, my mom passed away a year ago from cancer and i am 16 and it hurts. i miss her, she was my best friend and i can’t focus on my school work.

UPDATE: All of the replies have helped me immensely. I feel less alone in my grief and have actually managed to grow from when I wrote this comment. There is a light at the end of the tunnel guys❤️

I just lost my grandpa an hour ago. I wasn’t able to even get to the hospital in time. But the nurse held up the phone so I could talk to him and for the first time since getting there he responded. He mumbled something and nodded his head. He even tried to open his eyes. They pulled the plug less than an hour later. I can’t believe he’s gone. Goodbye grandpa. I love you.

Everybody does NOT grieve in the same way! Thank you.

I feel so damned alone because the way I'm grieving my dear friend and beloved pet bird spike. Sometimes I wish I didn't feel anything at all.

My dad died last month and it feels like he is somewhere that I haven’t visited yet. And then when I realize he isn’t here anymore, its gutting and sad.

[nhluvukongwenya]

I lost my granny last week, she was all I had since the death of my parents. Now I feel so alone in this world it's like my own has finished, i can't even concentrate on my studies, it's so painful.

[ML-HS]

I lost my baby brother to a stroke 3 months ago at 33 and it's so soul shattering. I don't know how I will pull through. I do not know how I will survive yet survival is what I will do because if I didn't die on the day of cremation I am fated to be here, at least, for a bit more. It hurts so much. I wish he didn't have to go. 😞

[DawnSTyler]

This video could add, we all grieve differently and each loss is as unique as the person we lost.

[floofygod]

10 years later and they never left my mind..

[abovetheturtle]

I lost my granny in may and my mom 2 months ago. I'm pretty much alone now. I live alone, I cry alone and I try to survive alone. There's nothing that can describe the pain and sadness that comes from losing your family in 5 months, losing your home, your cat and your future. I had to grow up within hours and get myself together. I can't describe how unbelievable lonely I am these days and how much I want to end this disaster of a life.
