What Grief Feels Like When Nobody Is Watching

A quiet reflection

When no one is watching, grief feels like there is no direction—
as if all the paths have been erased.

It feels like I cannot put one foot in front of the other.

It feels like standing on a tightrope, trying to balance in my own mind.

But what am I trying to balance?

Is it the weight of knowing the loss is unbelievable…
unbearable…
unsettling…
unfair…
unfortunate…
unreasonable…
unwarranted…
unjustifiable?

When nobody is watching, I feel filled with fear and uncertainty—
as if my ability to think has melted into my nervous system,
leaving me shaking, unable to rest,
and overwhelmed with emotion.

The tears come without warning,
flooding everything—
like a dam that can no longer hold.

If this is how grief feels for you…

You are not alone.

Take what you need, when you need it.
