Thank you, Deborah. The level of heartache everywhere seems impossible. Still, I feel held by our collective recognition of the particular deep loss we've suffered together.
This breaks my already broken heart. But in a good way, meaning if I reread it from time to time I may be able to make healing/wholeness possible again, for myself and others.
I don't know why my comment didn't show last week but I'll try again: a beautiful, sharp and heartfelt piece Susie, thank you for speaking for so many of us in this way.
Susie, you capture the spirit of the times we are all in together - especially those of us who are already going into uncharted waters - as we confront the realities of aging during days of heightened emotions and turmoil.
Susie, thank you for all of your keen observations and inner explorations. There is a seasoned witness woven into each of your cells. Your artistic expression has added a heaping spoonful of joy to my life! 🌱🌿🌳

Even though many have touched on this topic, I appreciate your characteristic graceful writing and heartfelt thoughts. Thanks.
Good to hear from you, Betsy. Each new loss re-stimulates the aloneness of it. Maybe just talking about it softens the edge somewhat.

I would be so honored.
big sigh~the losses are heavy, and with this distancing, devastating for the mourning
Im so moved by this piece.
Yes. We're making it up as we go along. I'm suddenly appreciating the power and value of the time-honored rituals.

Glad you're now visible. You've always been visible to me, Jim.

It will be a very different world we emerge into. I hopeful that we'll have some expanded perspective.
so powerful. I'm speechless.
Some day we'll give it language together
Classic SK. Displays the unique ability to speak to and for the reader.
Working on that conversation. It's ongoing.
Mom, nice work.
Much appreciated
As usual, your writing is brilliant, poignant, a mirrored commentary on our days. Thank you Susie.
Thank you, Jinks. The word mirror keeps coming up. I guess that's one of the possible functions a writer can have. Gotta keep cleaning it though.

Just getting through it... we are all mirrors. 💕💕

Touching, indeed, Susie, in light of what I wrote in an email to you, earlier today, 2/14.
