It is striking to me how these grief feelings are so new to us when it happens, how foreign they are, and yet how strongly similar they are too. You brought it all back here for me. And I'd never read the poem but that too was striking because when my late husband died, all but one of our clocks stopped working. Eerie. And yet, fitting.
So beautifully articulated as always Alison. Although I haven't lost anyone, I'm acutely aware of how easily people can take each other for granted, and how important it is to really live in the moment and be grateful. Lovely to read. xx
Love this as much as I love you ❤️

I love this. Life as you knew it ended. AND it is weird to assume the next phase will be awful.
I see how you are changed. And yet you are still familiar to me, your laugh, your ability to write, your joy in the sea. Thank you for sharing this. x
