Grief. There is no map for grief.

When the sun sets and darkness comes for us, we have two options.

We can head West and try to outrun the darkness.

Or we can turn toward the East, walk straight into the dark, facing the pain, feeling it all, allowing ourselves to be transformed by it; all the while holding onto the hope that one day we’ll step out into the sunrise again.
