Who doesn’t want to see the inner workings of anothers personal growth journey?

18/08/23

This journey of grief is the most multi-layered, nuanced, multi-faceted, up and down, crazy rollercoaster ride I’ve ever been on. It’s not simply me grieving Dans passing. I’m grieving so many things all at once, here’s a few:

Dan not being here obvs

The kids growing up without their Father

The life I thought I’d have with Dan

My old life I had with Dan before he got sick

The fact that society is not setup to support people going through intense grief, support systems are not there as others are un-educated around grief and not emotionally available to properly support those grieving – which is hella fucking hard and lonely I tell you what.

All these reasons, especially the last one give me fuel to speak up and speak out about what I am living and experiencing. For me, and for my kids, so they understand grief and how to support themselves, and others through it – because and I repeat, death is inevitable for ALL of us!
