You’re absolutely right, Jane.
You’re absolutely right, Jane. Thank you so much for reading and taking the time to comment. Our brains don’t distinguish between type of pain. They simply know PAIN as a result of loss.

Mark what a brilliant and gripping story you have.
Mark what a brilliant and gripping story you have. You might appreciate the work of death doula Alua Arthur who appeared as a guest on my podcast, Coming Back. She not only helps those who are “actively” dying, but also helps those of us who “live on” to come to terms with our inevitable demise. You can find our episode and more about her work here: http://www.shelbyforsythia.com/podcast/alua-arthur

A Love Letter to Grievers in the Midst of Coronavirus
Credit: pexels.comHi there, my beautiful Grief Growers —
The world is totally wigged right now. People are getting sick, and yes, people are dying because of coronavirus. It’s a strange time to be alive (side note: we’re only three months into 2020?!)… and it’s also a strange time to be grieving.
I don’t have any words to fix what’s going on or alleviate the swirling anxiety about the state of things. All I can say right now is that THIS FEELS A LOT LIKE GRIEF....

I am so delighted this article was helpful to you, Patty. Thank you so much for reading! It’s so hard when friends/family shut down grief because the person was not “good.”

I am so incredibly sorry for the loss of Késhia.
I am so incredibly sorry for the loss of Késhia. You depict her so incredibly well. Thank you for speaking to the larger cultural grief of black lives gone too soon. There is so much systemically to push back against when it comes to this ancestral — and yet still wildly current — unacknowledged grief. My love to you and your circle. ♥
