grief doesn't come with a map

[elisem]

So it turns out that this grief I'm in had me saying a little while ago "I am safe, and I will eventually be OK, but I'm not OK right now." And it was all very calm. (And I am, and I will.)

Staring off into space remains one of the top ten ways of doing grief here.

There's a lot of stuff going into my Very Slow Rummage Sale on eBay. People are telling me that clearing stuff out turns out to be a grief thing for some people too. So that fits.

Well.
Here I am then.

(It's been 38 days since.)
(Yeah, I'll probably keep track for a while.)
(It feels like both forever and no time at all.)

I am almost exactly a month behind you, for the same basic flavor of grief. Many hugs.

I would sit quietly with you if I could, so imagine me doing that. It's a hard, hard kind of grief.
