I Still Talk to Them…

Sometimes I still talk to them.

I catch myself saying good morning out loud.
Or whispering I miss you when I walk past their favorite spot.

Maybe you’ve done that too.

Maybe you’ve smiled at the leash still hanging up…
or kept their toy tucked away because throwing it out felt wrong.

Grief doesn’t always look like crying.
Sometimes it looks like carrying love forward—in the quiet, the ritual, the whisper.

You’re not “crazy.”
You’re not “stuck.”

You’re a heart still healing from a deep love.

And honestly?
Talking to them might just be your soul reminding you:
They mattered.
They still do.

So if today you talk to them—
That’s okay.

Love like that doesn’t disappear.

With grace,
