‘This Is Us’ has the world exhausted and overw

‘This Is Us’ has the world exhausted and overwhelmed by grief and loss and heartbreak. A television show has given a glimpse into what it’s like to live with significant loss. But take a moment to imagine what it feels like when it’s not fictional characters but your loved ones.

Your mother, not a mother on a screen.
Your father, not a father on TV.
Your husband or child or sister or brother, not actors.

This is us. Grieving individuals.
In real life.
Real loss.
Real death.
Real devastation.

This is us. The wounded hearts living with unwavering grief.

This is us. The ones carrying the pain of a forever absence. One that is a reality, not a written script that can be changed or forgotten.

This is us. The souls that have pieces missing because we actually had to listen to final breaths, plan funerals, and watch as our loved one was lowered into the ground.

This is us. The ones that know grief— real grief, not the kind portrayed on television but the kind that follows us like a shadow. The kind that is unavoidable. The kind with no button to change channels or pause what is about to come.

This is Us, a heartwarming and also heartbreaking TV show, gave the world a small peek into the grief experience— a tiny example of undeniable love and never-ending pain.

And that my friends is worth acknowledging. It’s worth bringing attention to. The feeling you have watching that show, that emotional hangover you have from death and loss, that’s grief. Except ours is real. That punch to the gut you have that it’s over? That’s grief, except ours is real. That feeling of “why” and “No!!” and “I didn’t see that coming?” It’s all grief. It’s all a harsh reality of what loss is and does. It’s an all-encompassing taste of what grieving individuals experience.

I’m so thankful for a show that makes people actually feel. One that brings tears and vulnerability and a slight ache. It helps bring understanding. It helps provide a dialogue and a visual for the destruction and the chaos.

Grieving hearts can say, “The pain, the heartbreak, the disbelief, the anger, the emptiness, the sorrow, the hunger for more? Yep, that’s all…CONTINUED IN COMMENTS…

This artwork is called Melancolie by Albert Györg

This artwork is called Melancolie by Albert György.

It is the perfect visual of grief.

The emptiness.
The brokenness.
The hole created by a forever absence.
The sadness and the longing.

This is grief.

Raw and exposed.
Authentic and true.
A deep, immense and lasting grief.

xox, Chels
