Beautiful. "Tethered and free"—what a perfect summary of grief. And thank goodness the "tethered" part of us is never fully free. I think our hearts need it in order to allow the memories to evolve our loving and living.
I loved this Rachel. What a beautiful reminder that our loved ones never really leave us and it's the memories that keep us alive.
I received a message from my mum on Friday as it was three years to the day since my grandad, her dad, died. Him and my nanna also died in the same year and as you can imagine, my mum went through a challenging time. We scattered their ashes this summer as it was only after three years she was ready to let go.
"Being held and free at once" is a beautiful way to describe how my mum, and the rest of us, felt this summer 💜
This is such a beautiful read that lilts hauntingly and achingly, explaining the devastating-ness of grief & how it hits us in the centre of our very humanity - how the heart aches so much we wonder if we can actually keep going.
