💔🕊️
They said we wouldn’t make it.
That loss would break us.
That grief would shatter our bond.
That the death of a child would be the death of “us.”
But they were wrong.
When our daughter Ava crossed into spirit, the world fell silent around us. The house grew quieter, but the ache grew louder. And in that void — where many couples unravel — we reached for each other.
Not perfectly. Not always gently. But truthfully.
We wept in different ways.
We processed in different rhythms.
We healed in circles, not straight lines.
But we kept choosing each other.
🌑 Grief Will Test Your Vows
Grief is not just sadness — it’s pressure.
It presses on your communication, your patience, your intimacy, your energy.
There were moments we didn't recognize each other.
Moments we both wanted to run.
Moments when one of us was drowning while the other had no words left to give.
But still — we stayed.
🔥 How Love Survived Loss
We didn’t just “make it.” We transformed.
We learned to speak without fixing.
We stopped needing to be strong at the same time.
We let grief make us more honest, more spiritual, more human.
We remembered that love isn't just passion — it's partnership.
It's grief held in one hand, and hope in the other.
It’s choosing someone again, even when everything has changed.
đź’Ť To the Ones Grieving Together
If you're walking through loss with your partner, know this:
You will not grieve the same way — and that’s okay.
Silence can be sacred. So can screaming. So can holding hands in the grocery store with tears in your eyes.
Keep choosing each other — even if it’s messy. Especially if it’s messy.
Let your grief speak, but don’t let it speak for you.
They thought grief would destroy us.
But grief, in her strange way, revealed us.
And we’re still here — softer, fiercer, more in love than before.
This is what love looks like after the storm.
This is what survival can become.
This is what real partnership means.
With truth,
Luna D.
