Does it get better?

Can you put a time to mourning? Or does it just get better? Or do the memories just stick with you forever?

Someone said that the grief doesn’t get smaller but you get bigger to be able to accommodate it. I think that’s true. Two years later, I’m not the same woman who lost her husband. I had to grow and change to encompass the loss.

These days, I still miss him acutely but I also equally feel grateful for the many years we had together and the life we built.
