I’m a firm believer that there’s no expiration date on grief. And I think grieving for the current state of society only compounds/resurfaces the individual grief any of us might otherwise carry.
I sort of have this theory that grief is like a portal, and when you are actively grieving one person (or your country) the portal opens and it’s like your particular river of grief starts running with more force and fluidity.
Yes to this. I think perhaps this is why it feels like everyone is talking about grief right now. We all have our own particular griefs we carry around, but now this collective grief is like a rushing river ferrying us all along. But it's nice to have company, at least. xo
“I will love this child but don’t let me outlive her.” Wow.
Definitely on my must read list. Thank you!
Thanks for feeling it, Kara. ❤️
Devastating and true. That silent prayer that is so silent we don’t even say it out loud inside our own heads.
