Grief is SO MUCH MORE than sadness and missing. It is a tangled ball of emotions.

The longer since his leaving, the more I feel I need to have it together in public. My tears are inexplicable to those who've forgotten,

Grief means there is already a low-level hum of background stress every. single. day.

Even though I'm stronger, I still experience a constant and unrelenting level of stress that often makes even ordinary tasks difficult...
