💔 I Don’t Know Where to Put the Anger.
“We were building everything. And cancer took it like it was never hers to keep.”
💔 I Was Supposed to Grow Old With Her
We had a plan.
I know that sounds basic, maybe even cliché, but it was ours.
We were going to get married in the spring. We already picked out the house. White fence. Too many flowers. A creaky porch swing that she wanted painted teal.
We were going to have kids.
She had names picked out since she was sixteen. She wanted to teach them how to dance in the kitchen.
I was going to teach them how to fix the leaky faucet that would never actually stay fixed.
We were building a life. Our life.
And then:
—cancer.
And not even the kind that lets you fight properly.
It didn’t shout. It didn’t flash.
It whispered.
And then it took.
By the time we knew, it was already leaving nothing but goodbyes.I held her hand through the treatments. Watched her laugh even when her body stopped keeping up. Watched her fade. Watched her fight.
But it still took her.
And now I’m here.
And she’s not.
And I don’t know where to put that.
The rage. The fear. The way the world still moves like nothing happened.
Like the sun doesn’t know it’s shining for no one.
I don’t feel real most days.
Like I’m watching someone else’s body go through the motions.
Coffee. Work. Sleep. Repeat.
But I needed… something.
Not a trinket.
Not a placeholder.
Something I could pour what’s left of myself into.
So I had this made—this glass heart.
Because I swear, when I look at it, I’m not just seeing her.
I’m seeing us.
The colors we chose together.
The way it catches light like the way she used to catch me watching her.
The way the ashes inside don’t sit still—they swirl.
And I swear, on my worst nights,
when the house is too quiet and the world feels like it’s pressing its boot on my chest—
I look at this heart,
and I remember that I was loved.
That she existed.
That we did.
And maybe, when this world is done chewing through me,
when I’m finally allowed to let go—
I’ll meet her there.
In that same light.
In that same color.
In that same love.
And we’ll finish what was taken from us.

A love that stood the test of time, now standing still in light.
🕯️ Before you go...
I know this isn’t easy. I know your heart is heavy. Grief isn’t something we move past—it’s something we learn to carry. And the fact that you’re here, searching for ways to honor a memory or find solace in the pain, is a quiet kind of bravery.
If today brought you even a moment of comfort, I’m grateful. And if not, that’s okay too. Healing isn’t a straight path—it’s a tide that ebbs and flows, and you are allowed to take your time.
I wish you peace in the moments that feel unbearable, warmth in the memories that still hold you close, and the gentle understanding that you are never alone in this. 💙
