Loss and IWSG Late Again

 

IWSG

I missed yesterday's post, but at least I got here today. I won't have a long post today, just remember to thank our co-hosts this month, and support all the amazing writers on this blog hop. Blog Hop seems such an old fashioned word now. But it still serves those of us who have a need to be a part of something bigger than just ourselves.

Every month there is a question we can answer if we choose to. I won't this month because I've already answered it before, Charlotte's Web. But I will put in one of my favorite quotes from the story, because I need to here this today.

Here are our lovely and wonderful co-hosts for this month:

 PJ Colando, Pat Garcia, Kim Lajevardi, Melisa Maygrove, Jean Davis!

Please visit their sites and thank them!

Enjoy summer. It is now upon us! From my garden to you...

Saddest April Ever and IWSG

 

IWSG WEBSITE

I missed yesterday because we had to let go of our little furry bundle of love, Boney, and I couldn't handle anything. The loss is overwhelming. The grief is there, then gone, then back again. No way to control it. No way to make sense of it. No clarity. Just empty space. A hole. My eyes hurt. My heart is so broken I don't know how to fix it yet. I "know" time will help. But right now nothing does. I try to tell myself that people in Ukraine have it sooooo much worse than I do. But I relate to their grief and loss even more than I did before. My pain is real. Not to be diminished by others also in pain. This is what I tell myself. Nothing helps. I took off work this morning but will go back this afternoon. I will be brave. I will do what I must. I will not be able to not think of Boney, so I will let the tears come as they will and do the best that I can.
