I don't seem to #grieve as a lot of others do. I had people come up to me at the #funeral and ask me, in tragic urgency, "How are you holding up?" As if, a month and a half after Mom passed, I'm still wailing and moaning and gnashing my teeth.

She's moved on. I miss her, but life continues. I trust I will encounter her in some metaphysical future. Do I need to be choked up by tears about that?

I mean, I'm not happy about her passing. But pangs of sorrow <> deep grieving.

Just a stump
I didn't know you could grieve
A nameless tree
