Just Keep Swimming

I read this quote recently and I thought it to be so true. "Grief is not going anywhere, so keep on swimming!"

But what if you can't swim? Or in my case, what if you're a poor swimmer who now requires nose plugs, ear plugs, and goggles just to go under water in a 5 ft pool?

I've never been an athletic swimmer. I can swim when and where I need to but to be honest, I'd rather just lounge in a floatie and occasionally kick my feet and paddle my arms to get where I'm going.

Can you relate?

Swimming is hard work. It's exhausting. Even for the most experienced swimmer.

And grief is hard work. It, too, is exhausting. Even for the experienced griever.

But you've got to keep swimming.

And if you can't swim, then get the biggest, best, floatie you can find, and keep on paddling.
​
And know, while grief never leaves you and some days the waves are rough, calmer waters await.
