Grief is Like a Puppy
It interrupts without warning.
It shows up in places you never invited it.
It leaves its mark on everything you do.
It will not let you forget what has been lost.
It follows you into every room, every moment.
It disrupts your peace in unexpected ways.
It reminds you again and again
that your life is not the same.
But in the silence, it also stays near.
It sits with you when no one else can.
It listens when the world has
grown tired of your story.
It keeps your love tethered to the one you lost.
It is not easy.
It is not gentle.
But somehow, it becomes part of your rhythm.
A presence you never wanted,
but one you slowly learn to live beside.

This metaphor will be featured in an upcoming book.
Find my first book, Grief is Like a Donut, on Amazon:
Grief is Like a Donut offers gentle support for those navigating the heartache of loss. Beautifully illustrated and poetic, this book uses metaphors, and images to reflect the confusion, numbness, and unexpected pockets of sweetness that grief can bring.
Perfect for times when focus is difficult, each metaphor is independent, so the book can be read a little at a time and in any order. It is a companion for moments when you need to pause, reflect, or simply feel understood.
Rather than trying to define grief, this book illuminates the many ways loss shows up in our bodies, minds, and lives, offering comfort, validation, and the sense of being seen.
