Grief is love undelivered

THERE'S MORE THAN SADNESS TO GRIEVING

It's been three years since my grandmother passed away, and navigating life without her has been a profound journey. Having lived with our family since I was a child, her presence was a constant in my life. I cherish countless memories, from our mornings filled with the aroma of her lukewarm coffee to our evenings watching her play solitaire.

During my senior high school years and first year of college, I lived in a condo near my university for practical reasons. Whenever I returned home, my grandmother would always prepare home-cooked meals, a tradition I still hold dear.

Nostalgia often brings these memories flooding back, reminding me of the immense significance my grandmother held in my life. Three years after her passing, I realized that I was, and still am, grieving. While the intensity has lessened, it manifests in various emotions: regret, sadness, and fondness.

CHANNELING REGRET

Whenever grief washes over me, I find myself reflecting on my regrets, sadness, and shortcomings. These thoughts arise when I remember not being there for her during her final moments, learning about her passing through a phone call one morning.
