loved this. I talk to the dead. mostly around 2-4 am. tell them what's going on. why I need help. could they make it more obvious what it is I need to do. or just be by my side when I'm afraid.
Beautiful, Nik. Grief never disappears, I find. It's like you said, up and down, in and out, present and hiding. So glad you're writing about it. What a terrible loss. :(
Thank you, beautiful piece Nik. As you know, I lost my Mother this year. Ours was a complicated relationship, as Mother/Daughter relationships often are. I go through my days thinking 'Oh look, much of the grief has subsided' and then have a day like today where I mourn for the little girl I was, that child that didn't really have a Mom .....not the healthy, nurturing one that I longed for all my life. Grateful to read your reflections on your Father today. Love.
Amazing read 👏🏽
