Grief-I hated you! I believed it was you ruining my life, keeping me trapped. When I decided to allow you to move through me, I began to understand your importance. Grief is the price we pay for love. If we love, we will grieve. As time passed, I respected you, and understood you were there to help me navigate my pain. Looking back, I can see you were the great teacher of my life. It was through grief, I seen my true heart. I appreciate time, love and those around me so much more because of you. I am more patient with myself because of our time together. When it was all said and done, I am grateful for you and the person I am because of you.
