I think a lot of people feel caught off guard by the guilt that can come with having a good day while grieving.
You find yourself laughing at something or enjoying a moment… and then suddenly feel awful for it afterwards.
As though feeling okay for a little while somehow means you’re moving on too quickly or forgetting the person you love.
But grief doesn’t work in straight lines like that.
You can still miss someone terribly and have moments where life feels lighter too.
One does not cancel the other out.
Sometimes those small moments are simply your mind and body taking a breath from carrying so much for so long.
And honestly, that’s okay too.
