Six months ago today, Derek passed away. 💔 Today, I stood at his grave carrying emotions I still don’t always know how to explain. Because how do you grieve someone you loved while also healing from the things they put you through? How do you miss someone and still feel relief? How do you mourn the life you had while learning to appreciate the peace you have now? I’ve learned that two things can be true at once. I can grieve his death and still acknowledge what I survived. I can remember the good without pretending the bad never happened. And maybe that’s the hardest part of this kind of grief. There isn’t one emotion. There isn’t one version of the story. Six months later, I’m still learning how to carry it all. ❤️
