“What No One Tells You About Grief… Like How You Forget to Shave One Leg”

Grief isn’t just tears and tissues. It’s forgetting where your keys are, shaving only one leg 🪒, and crying in the Walmart parking lot because they’re out of your favorite yogurt.


Listen, when people say “grief is a journey,” they forget to mention the side quests. Like…


🪒 Shaving one leg, getting distracted by a weird thought, and leaving the other one lookin’ like a wool sock.


🛒 Standing in the cereal aisle like you’re trying to solve a math equation, forgetting why you even came.😤


Crying because someone used “your mug” and it suddenly feels personal.


But the thing is — this is the healing. The weird moments, the small breakdowns, the little laughs in between.


If you’re functioning at 60% and still got dressed today? I see you. That’s strength — and also maybe deodorant in the wrong place. 😂


Hang in there. You’re doing better than you think 💖
