One of my most precious poems made its way into the world this week, thanks to #TheGarfieldLakeReview

I'm still figuring out what this milestone means, and I wrote about it on Substack.

I am less practiced in talking about how my experience of disability impacts my grieving process.

Last month I was given an opportunity by Let's Talk About Loss for #DisabilityPrideMonth
