Grief
I have not been on Goodreads or any social Media much. I have been editing my new book and been reflecting on and writing about grief. I just noticed that I bought a book by a Goodreads author on grief and only read a couple of chapters. But so much has happened since last year. It's Grief: The Dance of Self Discovery, by Edy Nathan is the book. The book is beautifully written, I couldn't finish it because I was in the midst of and overwhelmed with grief. Curious I had been grieving the loss of my husband for two years, and surgery and recovery is teaching me a new journey and new dance steps , I would love to hear from others who find some resonance with my own sense of this space. My last piece is called Grief Has a Way of Tapping you on the Shoulder www.DeloresLoweFriedman.com https://www.deloreslowefriedman.com/g... Lowe Friedman Thank you.

Marcia, My dear friend from across the pond, thank you so much for reading and hearing what I tried to convey. I am trying to work my way through it all, without giving up. I am nothing if not resilient and to some degree stubborn, and angry at the fates for testing me in this way. But I don't give up easily, and still search for those lovely things, those miraculous meanderings, that make this world worthy of wonder.

This really moved me. You express so clearly the painful journey you are on, step by painful step. The good days that are not so good, just not as bad as yesterday, and maybe worse tomorrow, when you feel that tap again.
I know there are no words of comfort I can offer, because it's your journey, and it will take as long as it takes. But I'm sending love and virtual hugs, and hope that tomorrow will be a little better.
