What strikes me about your grief path here is it’s wholeness. I think you’ve described that so well - the shock, the anger, the remembering, the gratitude. Thank you.

Thanks Emily. All of the different feelings come and go still. Apart from the anger. Happily I’ve been able to let that go. I always used to think grief was a linear path but, for me, it’s been, and still is, a cycle. But the grief takes up less space now.

Thank you so much, Amanda. I am very sorry for the loss of your friend. Your tribute to him is beautiful both in its writing and its sentiment. I am, as a writer, inspired by its brevity and punch, and as a human, deeply grateful that people like you are dedicated to finding and practicing peace and understanding. I truly believe that BEING PEACE is the only way to create more peace in the world.
