grief never goes away. the loss of someone’s presence simply becomes easier to accept with time. just because you accept this loss, it doesn’t mean it hurts less. things will remind you of them - it’s okay to cry or feel sad no matter how long it’s been.
a friendly reminder that no matter the results of this election: you can still be kind to your neighbor, lend a helping hand to a stranger, and show a little extra kindness to someone in need. compassion costs nothing.
