I am oh so late to this… but I had to say something.

I think you know how much I get this. The calendar and seasons call us back to memories even when we don’t always want to.

It’s hard to tend to little ones when you are feeling sorrowful. I know how hard that is. So much energy getting pulled two different directions.

I’ll be thinking of you in this season of remembering.

Oh. But the image I had of you beside the crib. And in this image you open your mouth and tilt your head up and a soundless tornado whirls out.

“grief sneaks up on you long after you think you’re done.”

Yes, it certainly does.

Oh, you have me in tears here. I can relate so much to this post, for entirely different reasons.

I’m so sorry that the grief still hits you, Bon. I wish I could say that it will pass with time, but my mother still mourns the loss of my brother 22 years ago. I think your children will always be with you, and it’s only natural to think on them with sadness. (((hugs)))

“say a quiet thankyou for all that i have that i do not deserve” – au contraire Bon. You wear grief gracefully. You have weathered many a storm with wisdom and humour beyond the norm. You definately deserve your family, happiness and much more.

Your grief is so beautifully expressed that sometimes I have to force myself to remember how terrible it truly is, that it cuts and stifles you. You make me look at the poetry in my sadnesses, if that makes any sense.

Hugs and lighter days and more sleep to you.

You never fail to amaze me with how you so eloquently and beautifully describe how you feel. This post takes my breath away.

And, how weirdly beautiful to come read on someone else’s blog and halfway through, think, “She’s writing my story, she is.”

This is corny but you are singing my life as well.

Hang in there, hon. ((hugs))

what hannah said.

i’ve always thought it’s the ugly bumpy scars after the healing that remain so painful and vulnerable when bumped up against.

peace to you, bon.
