Whether you believe that your story has ended, or it has just begun, you are correct.

We are dealing with our grief, whether we think we are or not.

People do not always behave the way you want them to behave. To expect them to will cause you pain. People show love and appreciation in all sorts of ways.

Some days it will be sunny and bright and easy to deal with anything that comes my way (if you have not experienced this yet, it is coming). Other days are dark, grey and cold.

My first step was to acknowledge that I needed to deal with my grief.

I have heard it said that people die twice. Once when their physical body dies, and, twice when people stop mentioning their names.

We do not raise ourselves to our fullest potential, we sink down to what we will tolerate.
