When are you going to move on?” they ask.
Move on from the loss, the grieving, the ache in your bones…
But I do know this: as sure as the sun rises and sets, you will grieve.
But be empowered and emboldened to say:

Today I move with the grief, not move on from it.
The wise know we don’t ever really move on.
But we make conscious, brave choices
To move with it, inviting our whole selves
To accept the pain and still choose
to move and to live,
as fiercely as we can,
Just live.
