Lore Birdsong 🦄Every so often I push myself to spend a day feeling the ache of my losses. Friends, parents, relationships, children, pets, and past identities that no longer fit.
It's never an easy day, but I find it a necessary exercise for me that keeps my heart open and grateful.

The Committee Weighs In
Andrea Cohen
I tell my mother
I’ve won the Nobel Prize.
Again? she says. Which
discipline this time?
It’s a little game
we play: I pretend
I’m somebody, she
pretends she isn’t dead

Grief
By Raymond Carver
Woke up early this morning and from my bed
looked far across the Strait to see
a small boat moving through the choppy water,
a single running light on. Remembered
my friend who used to shout
his dead wife’s name from the hilltops
around Perugia. Who set a plate
for her at his simple table long after
she was gone. And opened the windows
so she could have fresh air. Such display
I found embarrassing. So did his other
friends. I couldn’t see it.
Not until this morning.

Jeffrey A. WardSo much of my writing in the weeks & months after losing my grandfather was centered on trying to process that grief. Even though I spent quite a lot of time both thinking and writing about my grandfather, I never cried. Not once. After a while, that fact started to really worry me.
This is a post from my blog about how that was finally resolved:

This will be my third Christmas without my beloved grandfather, a loss that left a hero-sized hole in my life. After he passed in 2020 at the age of 97, I wrote the following as a bit of a eulogy, shared now in recognition of all of us who are approaching the holidays through the filter of grief.
