The Human Cut
How to Grieve Someone Who’s Still Alive
If you’re here, you’re probably grieving something you can’t say out loud.
Because they’re not gone.
Not in the way people usually mean.
They’re still breathing. Still existing. Still uploading photos and walking around with a heartbeat.
Why Do I Feel Numb All the Time?
You don’t get condolences for this kind of loss.
No one brings flowers.
They’re still alive. But not in your life.
This is what it means to grieve someone without a funeral...quietly, privately, and for longer than you expected.
You’re Not Too Quiet
Stillness Is Not Invisibility
You don’t need to be louder to be valid.
Stillness can be a boundary. Silence can be strength.
And you, even now, are real.
Compassion Isn’t Self-Abandonment
You can be soft without dissolving.
You can walk away without being cruel.
Love that costs your clarity isn’t love.
Return to this when you forget. That’s what this space is for.
You’re Not Unmotivated.You’re Burned Out.
You’re not broken.
You’re carrying too much.
And you're doing it so quietly, no one sees what it's costing you.
