We just published Grief Is by Lynda Scott Araya. It is a serene and haunting poem exploring the feelings of grief. It touched me deeply as I am grieving a recent loss of my younger brother.
For me, this August MoonBite is dedicated to the memory of my brother and all of the wonderful people who are missing him. But I am also dedicating this to all of you. I suspect we all have a void in our hearts. Perhaps our divisions would seem chasmic if we remembered that.
With gratitude and hope.

So sorry about your loss Teresa. Hugs.
Many thanks VJ. It definitely draws me to work with a poignant quality.
I am so sorry to hear about the death of your brother, Teresa. I could offer the usual trite cliches and empty words, but I won’t. We both know what grief is like and how it changes us. All I can say is do not let anyone else tell your story/your brother’s story. Your grief is your own, no matter who grieves alongside you. š Lynda
Thank you! This means a lot to me. It has changed me in some surprising ways!
