Thank you for sharing. When I look back and read some of the many posts I have made over the past three years, grief is an ever present companion. When you get to a certain age, and your social media starts to look like the obituary page. Oh my God, who died today? Pausing to contemplate or even dwell in the grief is good, but people get lost in it. A friend lost his partner 6 months back. The daily screams against the world were necessary. Exhausting, but necessary. I am happy to say that finally having the ceremony to remember has helped to remind him of all the people who love him. The grief never goes away, but one day we start to move on, slowly at first, falling into pockets of sudden tears, but moving. And then new babies, and flowers, and the eternal push and pull of the ocean reminding us that we are small and rather insignificant. What are we even here for? To love. To love. To find that reason to go on. Thank you for sharing. It was a great way to start my day.

Thank you for writing the words I struggle to find, and for bringing my confusion to light. Fucking brilliant as always.
