What Remains True

by Janis Thomas

But this is not a problem I can shelve, nor an issue I can slough off. This is not stress. This is grief. Overwhelming and insidious grief that refuses to be ignored or denied or temporarily tucked away.

you can’t miss something you can’t remember, and if you don’t miss it, you won’t be sad.

In this world, happiness and fulfillment are products of

successfully dealing with our losses.
