I love this Trilety. It's perfect, what you did and what you feel and what you wrote.

I have a date tattooed in one of the folds of my brain I guess, one that left me wandering for years in guilt for not being there when I could have been. Maybe. After about 5 years, my friend came to me in a vivid dream and told me it was okay. That began the healing, and although it's been fifty years for me, the wound, as you know Trilety, never closes all the all the way.

In some ways, I wish I hadn't read this because it's bringing back stuff when it's not that time of year. But mostly, I'm glad I did because I sense the importance of your words, and how expressing your love and grief so honestly helps you. Thank you for sharing.

I'm sorry your grief is so complicated and has lingered so long. Death and grief and emergence are all difficult, and you can only move through it at a pace that makes sense for you. You know I'm here if you ever want to talk. ♥️
