Grief Is Weird

Grief is weird.

You have to snap out of the reality that it has come and plan a funeral. You don’t really have time to process it all before you have to make some decisions. Family is everything, but when you have to agree on something so sensitive, family is well family is all I will say. You have to pray your way through all the feels. Everybody is processing the loss differently and you have to not take any of it personally, but extend grace. I’ve said it before. I don’t know how people do it without Jesus.

I’m truly grateful for my sisters. We agreed, disagreed, laughed, cried, prayed and repeated all of it for the last several weeks. Honoring his wishes, maintaining each other’s self esteem, loving each other through it all wasn’t easy, but it was what he would want us to do. We made it! The services were beautiful and certainly a reflection of who he was to his family and loved ones. We’re still working through other “stuff” post death and funeral business and we will continue to honor him through it all. Doing it all while processing our grief. Processing every emotion that comes along with it. Taking each day one breath at a time.

Whew chile🧘🏾‍♂️

Doing all things Well,
