I Still Type His Name Into My Phone - a story about mourning a relationship

Losing a relationship doesn't only mean losing a person — it means losing a version of yourself, and that grief is real and worth honoring. The love that made it hurt is also the thing that can carry you forward.

“Grief is proof of love. And love, once real, does not vanish — it changes form and becomes the strength to keep living.”

- Daisaku Ikeda, For Today and Tomorrow
