Man, just had one of those moments where something small triggers a memory, and it’s like a punch to the gut. Thinking about someone I lost to this disease, and it just hits different now that I’m actually working on myself. The grief is still there, but it's not the overwhelming, gotta-numb-it kind anymore. It's bittersweet you know? Feeling the sadness authentically is hard but also kinda a gift. Like, I’m actually present for it instead of running from it. If you're going through something similar, you're not alone. We’re doing the hard work, even when it hurts. Keep showing up.
