The Leftover Pieces; Suicide Loss Conversations

Grief Truth #4; August Daily Nuggets


Listen Later

Today's Grief Truth - “Some days are lighter. Some days are heavy — and that’s okay.”

 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.

Take a breath. Let yourself arrive.
Sometimes we don’t need answers — just something true to hold.
Here’s today’s grief truth.

Yes, some days are lighter. Some days are heavy — and that’s okay.

There are days when your chest feels less tight. When the world feels a little brighter.
 And then there are days where breathing feels like work.
 Both are part of the journey.
Grief doesn’t move by calendar or clock. It doesn’t care about what you should feel today. It arrives on its own terms.
Your job isn’t to chase the light or escape the dark — your job is to honor what is.
Whether you’re standing in sunshine or shadow today, you are still walking forward.
And that is enough.

 Take a breath.
 Let the truth settle where it needs to.
 You don’t have to carry everything — just what feels true today.
 You’re not lost — you’re walking with your truth.
 I’ll be here again tomorrow.
 Talk soon.
