A good friend sent this message to me and it is totally what I’m feeling for the loss of my big sis Jan who I love/loved deeply….
Grief, I've learned, is really just love. It's all the love you want to give, but cannot. All of that unspent love gathers in the corners of your eyes, the lump in your throat, and in the hollow part of your chest. Grief is just love with no place to go.??
