For The Grieving Hearts

I was working out a few days ago when this awesome song that I’ve never heard popped up on my playlist. Just listening to the lyrics made me super emotional, which really doesn’t tale much these days (having a baby will do that). After losing 3 family members to terminal illness, 3 friends to suicide and overdose and a tiny unborn human to life’s misfortune, all within a few short years, I think it’s safe to say that grief is something that’s on my heart. There’s that horrible saying that time heals all wounds. This is stupid and inaccurate. The grief doesn’t magically get better. I have just learned to get better at dealing with it by focusing on the happy memories and hoping that my loved ones are finally at peace. Grief also has a nasty way of sneaking up on you. Like one minute you’re having a solid day and getting your workout done and the next minute a song like this comes on and brings back memories and a few tears.
