Grief Brain

There is a strange part of grief nobody warned me about. My brain just doesn’t work the way it used to.

I walk into a room and forget why I’m there. I lose words halfway through a sentence. I read the same thing three times and still don’t know what it said. I forget appointments, names, what I was about to do, where I put something I had in my hand thirty seconds ago.

Sometimes I worry about myself. Then I remember how much my mind is carrying.

Grief takes up space. Even on a good day, some part of my brain is remembering, missing, replaying, wondering. Dates are stored there. Memories are stored there. The before and the after are both there.

And somehow I’m supposed to remember where I put my keys.

So yes, I forget things now. I lose my train of thought. I stand in the middle of the kitchen wondering what on earth I came in there for.

And I’ve learned to give myself a little grace about it.

My brain isn’t empty. It’s full of a love that still remembers, still misses, and still longs for someone who is no longer here.

Join us for Lights of Love, a special tradition as we gather to honor the loved ones we carry in our hearts.

We’ll begin with an outdoor tree lighting, reading of names and hot cocoa, followed by sweet treats and cookie decorating indoors.

Our heartfelt thanks to Bryce’s Blessings for sponsoring this evening and helping create a space for our community to come together in remembrance and love.
