Amanda, your reflection was so powerful about losing your dear friend. When I've had to move forward with a broken heart, I just focused on my very next step while leaning on my VIPs as needed. Seems like you're doing just that. Peace to you.

Grief is so, so hard. Just this morning I sat outside and sobbed myself dry. People who knew me best were gone…they were there as I grew up and older and were never judgmental. They knew what my favorite food was to who broke my heart. You can only lean on certain people for memories. Amanda my heart has felt as you do. Grief in my instance never leaves,and it’s okay to miss them till it hurts. She knew how much you loved her…I’m proud of you. And you don’t always have to stay strong…it’s ok to give in…in regards to myself I’m tired of being strong…I’m always thinking about you.

Love you friend 🧡 it's all a journey and the journey is still just beginning ✨️ I don't know if the tears ever stop, but I'm finding a little more meaning in them each day and a little less raw pain day by day.
