It ma...Thank you for the link to Tania's piece. It made me feel less alone. Tania described my last two years since my mother died. The second anniversary of her death is 28 August; I have been dreading it. I have been mad at myself for the falling apart parts, the not being organized parts, the not staying connected parts Tania describes. Strength and organization and caring for other people are usually things I do well, and they are not presently there for me. I know I am not alone, but I have felt alone. Time keeps rushing past, and I am behind the place where I intended to be. The other day I was thinking of you, and how much you mean to me even though we have not yet met in real life. I am astonished to find there is so much love in the world, that there are people we love for years and then meet, and it is surprising to remember we are not already old friends. You are one of those people for me. As I was thinking of you, I remembered my first contact with you, which was through LPC who commented above. Lisa had posted a link to a piece you wrote that I remember as a reminiscence about your maternal grandparents and summer in Norway. I had no idea who you were, but I loved that piece and told you so. We connected after that over writing and books, poetry and life, art and food, loss and love, the humor and the pain of existing. You are one of the women in my life who inspires me, who makes me look at some certain thing in a slightly different way, who introduces me to a new poet or artist or thought. Because we are social media friends, I sometimes see the facade and forget the person who may be struggling underneath. Medications do not work for me. I use therapy, exercise, friends, sleep, and eating the right foods. At my low times, I have gotten out of my loop of things that steady me. That is where I am now. It is all so delicate, the work to stay even, and to include not just existing but feeling joy. If there is a medication that helps you, take it again. I will say to you, though I know from experience that this will not necessarily matter to you right now, that your mind will reject it, but I will tell you anyway, there are many people, including me, who admire you, who love you, and who want you to be out of this sadness. Tania and you sharing your pain is a gift to those around you who are feeling as you feel, but thinking they are the only one. We don't expect to heal a physical break alone, a broken bone for example, but we seem to think we should heal mental breaks alone. They are the same. They both require aid. Sending you love, understanding, and support. xo.Katherine C.
