Conquering Grief

“It’s better to conquer grief than to deceive it.”

Grief is a response to the inevitable.

A response that many attempt to avoid, but a necessary step forward.

The opposite is easier, suppression takes less effort.

But suppressing emotions can be compared to putting a band aid on a gunshot wound.

And learning to be in charge of your emotions is a task within itself but it’s worth attempting.

I’ll admit grieving feels brand new every time death visits.

Especially in a time where a life can be taken so quickly.

To Ajay, Gabby, Matt, Penny & Lou, Nick, and anyone else who’s began this process once again.

Let’s move forward — together.
