Spot on with the joining of grief being love with nowhere to go... grief is hidden love, grief IS love ... as the entry states perfectly, " grief is terminal, exhaustive, encompassing" are these not attributes of love being mirrored by its opposite? An opposite in which is not opposite, but it's direct companion.

You were able to put together the feeling of not being able to pour out that love, and give it a name. Heartfelt with every word put together.

love the journey through desire, love, shame, grief and much more all in one. To feel all these things simultaneously.

what is grief if not love preserving?

to truly feel, is to acknowledge the existence of juxtaposed feelings living in simultaneity. to accept and embrace them as such.
