š That morning, she left without saying goodbye
I still remember the morning she said, āIāll be back later.ā
But she never came home.
Everyone told me to be strong, to move on.
But I didnāt want to let goāI just wanted to hold her hand one more time, hear her say my name again.
Sometimes Iād wake up in the middle of the night, certain she was still sitting on the couch, quietly watching me.
But when I reached out, there was nothing.
I started holding on to everything she left behind.
Her scarf, her perfume, the laundry she never had time to foldāI couldnāt bring myself to let them go.
Because as long as these things stayed, it felt like she stayed too.
⨠I wasnāt trying to forget herāI wanted her to stay
One day, I came across something.
Someone had turned āa part of what they couldnāt let go ofā into a diamond.
Not to show off, but to turn grief into something they could touch.
I didnāt tell many people.
I didnāt think theyād understand.
But I did it. And now, I have a necklace.
Itās not big.
Not shiny.
No brand.
No name.
But when I wear it, it feels like sheās with me again.
Before I leave the house, I touch it gently and think, āLetās go together today.ā
When it rains, I hold onto it, like she once held my hand.
š¤ This isnāt just a necklaceāitās what I never got to say
Some ask, āHow could a necklace change anything?ā
I donāt really know how to explain.
But this necklace gives me strengthāIt feels like sheās still walking with me, through every chapter of my life.
Sheās no longer just a photo, or a quiet space in my mind.
Sheās now a small, quiet gem resting near my heartbeat,walking through each day with me.
She may be gone, but her presence never really left.
šļø If youāre also trying to hold onto someone
Maybe youāve felt it tooāthe weight of a name you canāt say out loud,the kind of love that has nowhere else to go.
Some write journals.
Some get tattoos.
Some say nothing at all.
I chose a necklace.
Not to explain, not to impressājust to carry her with me, silently.
Not everyone will understand.
But if you do, then I want to say:Grief isnāt something to forget.
And love doesnāt belong only in the past.
