I am a runner (well, used to be) and I always loved that end point when you crossed the finish line. The race was over and all that hard work paid off.
That got me thinking about the experience of grieving, and how there is no finish line. And for those who have never lost someone they love, this can be hard to understand.
Things will get better and the individual will find ways to recapture joy, but they’ll always miss the person who died.
