Loss anniversaries are so hard-- it can feel like you’re going through the grief in new waves all over again. Just when you think the storm has passed, another wave crashes in. The anniversary date can really hit hard. As today is that day for you, I hold your pain and loss in honor. May your dad be remembered for all he was to you, his love for you, and the man he was, and the legacy he left. When the loss of my mom anniversary came in July, I felt it very strongly. I intentionally made space and time to feel what I needed to feel. I encourage you to do whatever feels best for you today… listening to his favorite music, watching his favorite show… or maybe not even thinking about it at all if some distance is what you need. Listen to your body and feelings and what they’re saying. Grief is a journey that never ends and as we grow around it, it becomes a deeper part of us. Then when the waves crash, they are more like rain than an ocean falling upon us. I hope you have peace and stillness within this storm and allow the storm to fully rain if it does. So proud of you for your candor in sharing your loss! Thanks for reaching out to HeartSupport, we are here for you! <3
Hi there,
I am so sorry for your loss. As the one-year anniversary approaches I can imagine how much it hurts and how much you miss your dad. It is normal for certain songs to bring back memories and bring back those feelings of grief. I hope that whenever you listen to this song, it brings you a sense of connection to him and some kind of comfort.
sending love and support,
