Life's Prize for Loving Deeply

I recently experienced intense grief. One thing that helped me get through it was realizing that the intensity was just a reflection of how much I valued my partner.

After processing this for a while I had a strange thought. “As I experience joy in a relationship the amount of grief that I would feel at the end also goes up.”

“Should I avoid joy so I don’t experience grief?”

Grief is an award for joy that life pins deep into your heart.

No. I think it would be better for me to learn how to welcome the grief.
