To grieve hard means that we have loved hard.
For me, so much of loving, living, and leading with courage means we have to do our grief work.
Grief shows up in so many ways when we really do the work:
• They didn’t turn out to be who you wanted them to be, or they don’t have what you need… grief.
• Setting boundaries and relationships changing… grief.
• Forgiveness work… grief.
• When you can’t unknow what you know now, but sometimes long for how it used to be… grief.
• They’re gone… grief.
• The dream is different or dead… grief.
• You are different… grief.
Any grief triggers all grief.
It doesn’t get better; it just gets different.
Our grief never shrinks; instead, our life, healing, and joy grow bigger around it.
To grieve hard means that we have loved hard.
And loving hard is something I will never, ever regret. <3

Nice post! The phrase “to grieve hard means we have been loved hard” suggests that the depth of grief we experience is directly tied to the depth of love we’ve experienced. It’s a reminder that intense pain from loss is a reflection of the richness of the connection we had with someone or something. The more deeply we invest our hearts, the more we stand to lose when it’s gone, but that also signifies how truly special that relationship was.
In a way, it’s comforting because it puts the hurt into perspective: grief, though painful, is proof that we have allowed ourselves to be vulnerable and open to love. When finding right words to express pain is difficult, one can take refer to quotes on https://soinspiring.com/grief-quotes-short/ and make the journey easy.
