Grief is Like Quicksand
when grief feels
alive beneath your feet.
The harder you resist,
the heavier it feels.
Your chest tightens,
your breath shortens,
and you begin to believe you are lost.
Not every battle is won by force.
Sometimes the path forward
begins with surrender.
Letting yourself rest inside the weight
instead of fighting it.
In that surrender,
you discover strength in stillness.
The pain does not vanish, but it softens.
Little by little, you find a rope of hope:
a hand, a memory, a light.
It reminds you that you are not meant to stay buried.
You are here to survive.

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.
