Grief knows no timeline.
No matter how many years go by after losing the person you love, some moments and objects can still bring all those painful feelings rushing back.
Rory Feek recently shared an intimate video of just such a moment, when he discovered an old Valentine's Day card his late wife and duet partner Joey Feek wrote to him before she died in 2016.
Filmed in 2021, the video shows Feek reading Joey's message and dissolving into tears.
It had been five years since she died at that point. But as Feek pointed out in the caption of his post, her loss was still deeply painful.
"Sometimes the grief will sneak up and overcome you when you least expect it," the singer wrote.
"Although it had been five years since she had been gone, in my heart, it still felt like yesterday,"
