Another perfect post. You’ve spoken for thousands of those who have suffered, and you’ve done it in a beautiful, raw way.

I get what you are saying. I do. But aren’t we (even with all the injustices/tragedies/fears/illnesses in the world) allowed to occasionally mope and whine? I think so.

Perhaps the gift of having suffered is the knowledge of how to be truly present for those who suffer, no?

I don’t think of it as shallow at all. It’s your perspective. Own it!!!

Our personal pain should not be invalidated by a greater pain that someone else is going through. At least that is what I have been told by some when I apologise for my moaning about thisthatandtheother.

Pain is pain.

bon, I loved reading this. So much of how you felt after losing Finn, is how I feel too. Especially that part about the big round bellies and the tacks. Oh that is so completely right.
