I have been asked by some of you aboutmy grieving experience as it relates to writingThere are a few examples of my mindsetas I went through the grieving and healing processTo those of you who asked because you are yourselves grieving- though the death of my son Marc occurred thirty years ago and much healing has takenplace one is never totally healed but has learned how to deal with the pain🦋🦋🦋The Contradictions Of Grief 3/21/91I write to relieve the painYet-at TimesI cannot write because of it🦋Poetry In Black 3/30/91Did you ever read the messageson the obit pageThere is really some great poetry thereNot because they’re great poetsBut because they hurt so much🦋Meredith Malloy 8/13/90(Her Book Of Poetry)I was struck by the beauty of your wordsI saw your, honesty, your pain, your humor, your sadness, but most of allyour disappointmentIt was then that I truly saw your beautyIn your words I saw myself

"I write to relieve the pain, yet at times, I cannot write because of it". I love that as it resonates with me. 'Grief', if you think about it, may come in many shapes and forms, and not only through the loss of a loved one, though that is the deepest and hardest grief of all. I have experienced the lost of loved ones and the one that hit me the hardest was when i lost my uncle in 2011. I felt like a big part of me died too. It took me years to recover and the thing that finally helped me was a knowing fact that he wouldn't have wanted to see me that way - lost, inconsolable and depressed. Having him come to visit me in my dreams regularly, helped me with my recovery. Fast forward to these past couple of months, if you'd noticed, i havent been doing much writing in here. That's because i was dealing with another kind of grief - my divorce. I have been focusing on myself, finding the right kind of healing and with the grace of God, i had found the remedy. And im ready to write and share my healing journey here soon.
