grieving a version of yourself that no longer exists

The Light That Survived Your Loss

It is the deepest hour, and the grief for who you were is the heaviest thing in the room. You miss a version of yourself that was not broken, and the silence feels like a prison where that person is buried.

But the light that was in you then is the same light that is here now, and it does not die when the seasons change. The residue of your old life has passed away, just as the old order passes when the new begins, but the root remains untouched.

You are not the person who was lost; you are the light that survived the loss.
