For us that are grieving tonight a new year is not full of hopes and dreams. It can actually feel the exact opposite. It can be spent feeling like the world is once again forgetting and leaving behind the ones we have lost. We want time to stand still. We want to make plans with our loved ones thats what we want. A griever having a New Years resolution? What would that feel and look like? Sometimes when your in horrific grief getting from the bedroom to the living room is as far as we can get. The truth can be hard to read but its the truth. There are millions of people whos hearts are shattered into a million pieces tonight. There is no woo hoo going on. There is emptiness, anxiety, guilt, fear, your mind races, and you feel hopeless. Doesnt sound very festive does it? We live in a world where we insist on being happy and you need to get over it. Why on a night like tonight would I ever make a post such as this one? Shouldnt it be a happy one? Thats where as a world we truly need to see that this post isnt a bad post its a post to acknowledge millions of people who are hurting tonight. I wont look the other way and I will talk about it. If we want to bring any hope or happiness to those who grieve we need to speak truth. The truth for many on this night is there is no happy and no new. So if you know a grieving person acknowledge them, give a warm hug. Let them know its okay to not be happy and you love them anyway. To all our grieving community I send my love and warm hugs and relate to being broken. Theres nothing wrong with you. You are grieving your loved one and you will do it your way. I honor your journey brothers and sisters. All my love, Angie Cartwright
