“There are many gifts of grief that I would gladly give back in exchange for what I've lost. Still, one gift of grief is the opportunity to explore places within ourselves we might never see otherwise. Just as there are beautiful things that can flourish in dark places, like mushrooms and beetles and shade-loving flowers, there are parts of our souls that flourish only in the darkest times. Since we're here, we might as well look at those flourishing parts of ourselves, the beautiful things thriving in difficult times.”
