Avoidance is such a big part of grief. It’s taken me a while (aka 10+ years) but I’m finally starting to venture away from it. As you said, there’s so much more to death than loss. Once I stopped running away from it is when i finally began to discover some of these other things you mentioned it makes available.
Enjoy Italy and eat all the pizza, pasta, and gelato ✨
Sue.......You are fortunate to have your children to share your memories of Mike and to have their love. My sweet Joan and I met late in life and we had no children. I think the children make the loss easier because you easily can talk about Mike. My friends seem to be afraid to bring up the subject of Joan and our loss.
Another beautiful offering, thank you.

A lot to unpack in this one. But Kenny P “no ragrets; not even one letter.” Was a strong pull.
I hope you both are having an amazing time celebrating everything. xo
