The emotional weight hidden in every drawer:
Even if you think you've moved on, every object you keep acts like a subtle sting. Opening a closet and finding a forgotten shirt can trigger a wave of emotions. This maintains a persistent emotional fragility, often invisible but very real.
It's not about erasing memories, but about giving them a peaceful space in our minds, without letting objects become a prison. Ultimately, isn't the true tribute found more in what we keep inside than on a shelf?
Rethinking our own space to rebuild it:
Changing the layout of the house, reorganizing a room, painting a wall… These seemingly insignificant actions can have a real impact on our well-being. They help us turn the page smoothly, to reclaim our living space.
Changing someone's environment isn't about "erasing" them; it's about accepting that life goes on and that we deserve an environment conducive to our well-being. Rebuilding also means this: recreating a refuge where one feels comfortable, in harmony with their new reality.
What if we gave space to the light?
Grief is a personal journey, sometimes arduous, never linear. There's no right or wrong way to navigate it. But if you feel something is weighing you down more than comforting you, it could be a sign that it's time to let go. To reclaim a sense of lightness… and welcome light back into your daily life.
