Grief, I've learned,
is really just LOVE.
It's all the love you want to give,
but cannot.
All that unspent love gathers in the corners of your eyes,
the lump in your throat,
and the hallow part of your chest.
Grief is just love with no place to go.

A single friend
who says "I am so sorry. I am here to listen anytime."
is worth a thousand friends,
or maybe 10 thousand friends,
who tell you how you must or must not grieve.
