I don't like the regrets and guilt that come with grief.

There is nothing more you could have done, believe me.
No other conversation.
No better goodbye.
No resolutions.

Death is unpredictable. There is nothing we can do to circumvent it.
The grief will arrive and say "you should have" and I need you to believe that no matter the amount of foresight, you cannot predict this human life we live.
You need to do yourself a big favor and hold on to the multiple truths that exist.
That you loved someone and they hurt you or you hurt them but loved them deeply.

They are gone now. That doesn't mean there was no love shared between you.

forgive yourself and loosen your grip
loosen your grip so you can grieve properly.

There is no use in grieving while beating yourself up. You hold no space for the softness and love that once existed.
