Under The Sun With Grief.
When the sun is shining and there’s a smile on your face, the one you love is always there. Grief stands under the sun with you and enjoys the warmth, as if the bitterness it usually holds has melted away for just a little while. The smile on your face is a crutch for the grief, allowing the weight of it to disappear.

How Long Does Grief Echo?
How Long Does Grief Echo? Sometimes love lingers not in sight, but in sound.

This is something else — a thin, shifting hush that still carries traces of what once was.
