“I cannot think of your smile without smiling too, and, of course, feeling tears fill my eyes.”
It's one of my favourite metaphors for life and death, but it made me cry even before I'd lost the love of my life. Today, it hit me like I'd been slapped. We watched that show together, they hugged me when I cried over it.

Partway through counseling today, after I'd talked about water as a metaphor for emotion, the counselor agreed, and said a lot of people describe it as coming in "a wave".
And Chidi's "the wave returns to the water" speech from The Good Place leapt to my mind, and I couldn't speak.

A lot of things come to me in hinches; for both of my pet loss, i'd had a "theme" song for them:
- For my childhood cat,See you again Wiz Khalifa.
- For my Sheik this time around, her song is I'll be,Edwin MCCain.
Why? Idk.Listening to the song reminds me of them.. #petloss #rainbowbridge #grief
Toni Morrison's 'Beloved' remains one of the most challenged books in America, yet its exploration of ancestral grief & historical trauma is unmatched.
Grief isn't just individual. It lingers and moves through generations. 🧵 1/2
