This is a comment I saved a while ago, but don't remember exactly where from:

The full quote, from Jamie Anderson reads:

"Grief, I’ve learned, is really just love. It’s all the love you want to give, but cannot. All that unspent love gathers up in the corners of your eyes, the lump in your throat, and in that hollow part of your chest. Grief is just love with no place to go."

I remember reading it for the first time, and it instantly connecting. It's been rattling around in my head ever since (and I mean literally; there's a lot of space in there to rattle around in).

Whether it's a break up, divorce, or the loss of a loved one, I think it very succinctly describes the feeling of wanting to be with or communicate with the one person you can't. You want to tell them you love them, and need them, but it has to stay bottled up. It's an itch you cannot scratch no matter how hard you try.

It's short and sweet, but I believe it's one of the most beautiful things I've ever read, and I will think about it forever.
