“Grief, I’ve learned, is really just love. It’s all the love you want to give, but cannot. All that unspent love gathers up in the corners of your eyes, the lump in your throat, and in that hollow part of your chest. Grief is just love with no place to go”
~ Jamie Anderson
36 hours after losing my dear kitty friend I'm in the midst of grief. It may sound crazy to some, but other than losing my Poppy, I haven't grieved so much after losing someone.
I was googling about grief and came upon this quote. It hit home for me as the sadness comes when I realize I can no longer hug my cat, hear his purrs or any of the other ways we exchanged our love. It feels like that love is bottled up and it overflows in the form of tears and sobs.
It does feel better though when I channel it into love for someone else. Still sad, but less like a geyser that erupts everywhere. So I will keep trying to move through this ocean of grief with love. Figuring out how to channel the love I have for my sweet cat into a gentle river that I long to sit beside.
