A Letter to Grief (with Your Crystal in Hand)
Dear Grief,
I feel you here today—a heaviness in my chest, a tremor in my breath. At first, I resented your arrival. But now, cradling this Blue Phantom Quartz, I see you differently. Like the phantoms within this stone, you carry remnants of what once was, yet you also hold space for what still is.
You are not here to drown me. You are here to remind me that love transcends form. This crystal, with its whispers of ancient oceans, teaches me to float rather than fight. To trust that even in loss, I am held by something greater.
Today, I honor you. I release the need to "overcome" you. Instead, I let your waters shape me, as rivers carve canyons—slowly, tenderly, forever.
With patience,
Your Student
