You feel alone in the pain. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sharing helps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When I came across this today, I knew I had to share it with you in case you know the feeling.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Greiving is hard and it never truly ends.  We learn to live with it but it&#8217;s always there and when you connect with someone, even listening to a conversation, you feel connected on a deeper level.  You feel understood.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sending love to all who are hurting.  You are not alone.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I lost my mom, brother and sister in a car accident in July of 1990.  I miss them everyday and still get incredibly sad some days, as if it just happened.  And I still get really mad at what we lost, and have continued to lose over the years because someone drove through a stop sign.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Share your stories.  Keep talking about those you miss.  It helps you but it helps all of us who just want to feel understood and heard. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Sara Bareilles debuts &#039;Home,&#039; a new song about grief inspired by Anderson Cooper and Stephen Colbert\" width=\"900\" height=\"506\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/OQLNyoCZZV0?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The conversation that inspired Sara&#8217;s new music. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Stephen Colbert and Anderson Cooper&#039;s beautiful conversation about grief\" width=\"900\" height=\"506\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/YB46h1koicQ?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"If you have ever lost someone close to you, someone that you loved &#8211; you know the pain of grief.
