Feeling absolutely numb when grieving the recent death of a parent isn't that strange, is it?

I'm empty.

Dear Dad, A Letter From Your Daughter

Dear Dad, I felt betrayed when you died, for not taking me with you. For leaving me behind. For abandoning me. I still feel that way. I think that is why I get angry at you. I feel like my life lacks meaning and purpose without you, and yet you enable the meaning and purpose that has inspired my courage and will to live. I wish you could tell me why you left. Why I had to be left behind. Your Daughter.

James Valentine showed us what public broadcasting could be at its very best. It’s a legacy I hope to live up to

The public grief is enormous but it keeps giving way to joy, to moments of hilarity that have stayed with listeners for years

You learn things about people when they pass away. My mil had such a romantic and dreamy side to her. Found a tiny angel pinned to a bra and lucky pennies that had descriptions about the luck they found after. I hope to leave some surprises about me for loved ones to find. #bereavement #grief #dying

As a celebrant, I prefer funerals to weddings. This is why

Perhaps my work is still about my healing – remembering the sacred fragility, the passing nature, the end date in sight
