I see you loving someone who is still here — and not the same.
I see the grief that comes before goodbye. The quiet mourning that doesn’t have a name. The ache of missing someone who is sitting right in front of you.
I see you holding memories while watching abilities fade. Holding love while letting go of pieces you can’t keep.
If you’re loving someone who feels like they’re slipping away, please know this:
Your grief is real.
Your love still matters.
And it’s okay to feel both at the same time.
I see you loving through loss.
And that is heartbreakingly brave.
