I hope you are feeling better Ally. I know grief more intimately now than I could have ever imagined just a few years prior. When you mention your sisters, your crew, I know just how much of a balm that can be. There has to be some antidote, and for me it’s been a few friends with unfeigned love when, time and again, I’ve been maligned by my own folks. When I was trying to make sense of an unexpected divorce, I had one parent tell me to “take a walk.” And another parent whose idea of support was to sneer in derision at my attempts to heal. Anyway, thank you for always being honest and vulnerable in your essays, they always give voice to what I struggle to utter.
Oh Corey, I’m so sorry. It’s awful enough to go through a loss and upheaval you weren’t expecting, but then to feel a total lack of support from the people who are “supposed to” care the most is just gutting. I’m so glad you have some really good friends like I do, it makes all the difference. I really think it’s the best stuff in life. And I’m sending you lots of love as you continue to heal and find your way forward. You seriously never know what’s around the bend, that’s the one thing I DO know. Hugs 🤍
