This article shines a little light on friendship grief.

There's a specific grief in losing a former version of yourself.
No one prepares you for that.
We talk about grieving people.
We talk about grieving relationships.
We talk about grieving careers.
We don't talk about grieving version of you.

Journey of Friendship Grief
There is a specific grief in losing a former version of yourself.
No one prepares you for that.
We talk about grieving people.
We talk about grieving relationships.
We talk about grieving careers.
But we don’t talk about grieving identities.
Can you extend grace to yourself in that season?
No one prepares you for that.

Have you ever not recognized your life?
Have you ever cried so much you wondered if you had become a tear?
Have you ever shed so many tears you questioned your own composition?
What if tears are not failure?
what if they are proof of something deeper?
What if they are ingredients of becoming?
