I get frustrated with myself sometimes, when I realize I haven’t been writing as much. The last month or so has felt that way... but I also recently realized that one of the reasons I go through these fits and spurts is because those weeks or months I’m not writing represent the time that I… Continue reading When I’m not Writing

An Open Letter to Experienced Grievers…
Yeah, a bit morbid perhaps to think of grief as something one can become experienced in, but I think accurate. But as I start to feel myself tipping into that category, I also find myself frustrated by just how unhelpful my own experience is. Unlike harder jobs, bullying, family struggles, and in some ways even… Continue reading An Open Letter to Experienced Grievers…
Panic -my grief
When he said that you were dead. My second memory of you crying, was when your grandma passed. I know you felt loss, maybe even like I do. But I’m glad you had Grandma and Grandpa.

Adventures in Cooking: When the Plan Goes Bad
The plan was to try a one pan Garlic Chicken Breast with peas, peppers, spinach, and pasta.

Smells, Sights, and Sounds – My Grief
From the smell of his old hat wafting around me when the air stirs just right to the beep beep beep of my new alarm clock that sounds strangely like his. From the cold air on my face, tilted up to the sky, like nights out snowshoeing under a blanket of stars. To the squish… Continue reading Smells, Sights, and Sounds – My Grief
