I just love this. Simple and profound at the same time. Yes, grief is salty.

"your tears’ll water the flowers you left ‘em" the grieving, tears, community, ect. Is all for us. The dead don't care anymore.

The simplicity of this is what makes it profound. Grief is like that too. Simple, yet profound. And yes, it is salty. Beautiful.
