There’s a particular kind of ache
that comes when someone is dying—
and you weren’t close.
Maybe it was distance.
Maybe pride.
Maybe pain from a version of them you couldn’t fully forgive.
And now…
they’re fading.
And the finality feels heavier than you expected.
You want to reach out.
But don’t know what to say.
You want to show up.
But wonder if it’s too late.
This is the moment where mental wellness meets spiritual courage.
Because grief isn’t always clean.
Sometimes, it’s tangled in regret.
Sometimes, it’s stitched with silence.
Sometimes, it’s the mourning of what never was—
not just what’s ending.
But here’s the truth:
You don’t have to rewrite the past.
You just have to choose what you want this last page to look like.
Maybe you say something simple.
Maybe you sit quietly.
Maybe you show up not to fix… but to soften.
And maybe—just maybe—
that small act becomes the healing.
Not just for them.
But for you.
The story may not have gone the way you hoped.
But there’s still power in how you hold the ending.
That’s the Cushy way.
