@ayeayejames: 🌻🦋❤️ The Waves of Grief — Learning to Carry What Love Leaves Behind On the Porch with AyeAye 🤎 Have you ever thought you were finally finding your footing after a loss, only to have a memory, a song, a familiar smell, or an empty chair bring the tears rushing back? Grief is a lot like the waves here at Orchard Lake. Sometimes the waters are calm, and sometimes a wave comes crashing in when we least expect it. But here's something I hope you'll remember... Just because another wave comes doesn't mean you've gone backward. It doesn't erase the healing you've already experienced. Grief isn't always about losing someone to death. Sometimes we grieve relationships, friendships, dreams, our health, or a future we thought we'd have. And sometimes the greatest comfort we can offer someone who is grieving isn't advice or an explanation. It's simply being present. Remembering. Listening. Checking in long after everyone else has gone home. Romans 12:15 reminds us to “Rejoice with those who rejoice; mourn with those who mourn.” What if we stopped expecting people to get over their grief and started learning how to walk beside them through it? ❤️ You can laugh again and still miss them. You can make new memories without forgetting the old ones. You can experience joy and grief in the very same heart. And when another wave comes, give yourself permission to feel it. Because sometimes grief is simply love remembering. 🌻 Today's What If? What if we became a safe place for someone carrying grief, instead of trying to fix what hurts? You don't have to stop missing them to start living again. And you don't have to carry those waves alone. 🤎 With love from the porch, AyeAyeJames 🌻🦋❤️ #OnThePorchWithAyeAye #TheWavesOfGrief #GriefAndHealing #FaithHopeAndLove #GriefSupport
