Love Lived First

It's small consolation in moments of grief. I find the amount of grief is proportionate to the amount of love, and where love is present there eventually will be grief.

​Some see this as a reason not to love, and to save themselves that eventual pain. These efforts are futile. When love demands to come in, it will with or with out permission. This cycle is a part of life and our human experience. Do not rob yourself of love, and the growth that accompanies grief.

Yes grief will come, but love was first, and love will remain.
