You may see me smiling much more in pictures, but please don’t misunderstand

Grief is still my daily company. It’s just that the face of grief changes

Some days are worse than others, but I still deeply cry multiple times every day

Some days, I have a lot of good moments, others I have none

I still mentally disappear in the world of my bereavement still hoping for their return as well as my own return to my prior being

Living is still a task of great expenditure of spiritual energy

Being positive is necessary toward healing, but my smiles take more effort than they so depict in my photos
