"Grief seeps like sickening black tar that demands to be seen, and struggling with mourning a man who was the root to my leaf but had a legacy so complicated still." feels like i'm looking at my grief in the mirror reading these words! Whewwww!!😤👏🏾

This left me in pieces. You’d think that human beings would be better equipped to deal with grief since everybody dies but no

This. It should be as easy for us to accept as birth is, but no. And I wish it was. I think the finality and mystery of it is the problem ❤️‍🩹
