You have to be very, very careful with people who have lost parents, siblings or children. When someone experiences that level of loss, it changes how they see everything. Things that used to matter suddenly don't. They have less patience for fake energy, meaningless relationships or anything that destroys their peace. Because losing someone that's close doesn't just shatter your heart. It changes parts of who you are. Some storms don't just break branches, they change the way the tree grows forever. They move differently, they love differently, even behind their biggest smiles there's a way most people will never understand. Grief doesn't simply disappear with time. You just learn how to carry it. That's why they value real connections differently. I know firsthand that someone you love can be here today and gone tomorrow. So when they protect their peace, their energy, and the people they love. Understand where it comes from because they've already experienced what it feels like to lose someone they thought they'd have forever.
