"There is no 'getting over' grief." 

Welcome, fellow griever.
This is your Daily Nugget from me, Melissa, your host of The Leftover Pieces.
Today we will share a moment of presence, a breath of truth, and a reminder.
Lean in with me ---

 We’ve all heard it: “You’ll get over it.” As if loss is something we recover from, like a cold. 

"There is no 'getting over' grief." 

But grief is not an obstacle you climb and leave behind. It’s not a wound that disappears without a scar.

It becomes part of you—woven into the way you see the world, the way you love, the way you move through your days.
Over time, you might laugh more, cry less, feel a little lighter. But you’re not “over it.” You’re carrying it differently. You’re integrating it into a life that’s been permanently changed.
The truth is, we don’t get over grief—we grow around it.

Don’t let anyone convince you that healing means forgetting. It means learning to live fully with your love and your loss side by side.

 Take this breath.
 It’s yours to soften into.
 The love you hold is real, and the path you walk is honored.
 No one else can live this story the way you do.
 I’ll return tomorrow to walk with you again.
