Grieving your pain through my own history with sudden reversals.

Ground and notice how you’ve slowly grown to fit the new shape the holes made. You may feel like Swiss cheese but the holes are space for empathy and future connection when you can reach out through them.

I lost my father on April 21, 2023. We were each other's best friend. We were writing buddies and acted as soundboards to bounce ideas back and forth. He was a man of God and my mentor. No one else has ever been there for me like him. So now I must learn to be the one who is there for the next generation until my time comes. I was doing my best to hold back the tears until I wrote an annual memorial in April but your reflection on your brother has put me beside myself. My wife informed me that breakfast is on the table so I need to compose myself before joining her. Thank you for sharing, for in it, it impacts those who read but most importantly, it helps bring healing to you. Have a blessed day!
