This is so beautiful. I am reminded of the powerful and penetrating pain grief brings; as I have grown so accustomed to carrying my own sorrow. This poem and its words humbly reveal how loss and gratitude; as well as prayers, can affect the life-long healing process.
Have read and already re-read...thank you for your vulnerability, Julie. Your line about how maybe this is all grief,.."and I had forgotten," ... I have been thinking a lot about that in these times. So much grief. The Ellen Bass poem is the perfect pairing... hang in there, friend.
Thank you for this! I don’t quite know what to say but please at some point let us know if there are ways that those of us who are not there can help. ♥️
Julie,
