Hi, I’m Ella the Elephant. I’ve walked many miles, carried many memories, and learned that sometimes, the heaviest thing we hold isn't on our backs, it's in our hearts. Goodbyes are never easy, but over time, I’ve learned how to make peace with them.

Here are my 3 elephant-sized, soul-softening truths about letting go:

1. Grief Is Just Love With Nowhere to Go

When we lose someone or something we loved, the ache that lingers isn’t weakness. It’s proof that it mattered. Let your heart feel it. Cry if you need to. Stillness doesn’t mean you're stuck; it means you’re honouring the weight of what was.

3. Say Goodbye Gently, Not Quickly

There’s no rush to move on. Closure doesn’t come in a day. Give yourself grace to say goodbye in your own way, whether it’s a letter, a walk, or sitting quietly with what you’ve lost. Gentle endings make space for soft beginnings.

Final Thought from Ella

Life is a long, winding path. Along the way, we lose things we wish we could hold onto forever. But even as we let go, we carry pieces of them with us, etched into the folds of our hearts. So today, grieve slowly, remember sweetly, and let your goodbye be gentle.

Because healing? It’s not forgetting. It’s loving without needing to hold so tight.
