grief / loss

The loss of a loved one knocks the wind out of you. It is complex, personal, and brings up the unexpected. Just when you think you have it under control, you realize you don’t. The hardest part is how solitary missing can be when there is no one else who understands quite the same way you do. While no one ever will exactly, there is peace and life in sharing some of the knowing.

Grief & Loss

Loss of every kind is painful and personal. It brings up the unexpected. It’s hard to make sense of anything. The hardest part is how lonely it is. While no one will ever get it exactly, there is peace and life in sharing some of the knowing.
