The loss of my mother haunts me. How could it not? I know not everyone has a deep bond with either parent, and others have different scenarios of their family dynamic, which I understand, but my mother was my best friend. I was never embarrassed of her or ashamed of her. I took care of … Continue reading Tracking The Time

The Eerie Stillness of Bad News
Today, #Covid19 claimed the life of a family friend. His crime? Being told it was safe to have surgery, so that he could get back to being the healthy, active person he was. 😡 They are NOT preserving a life if Covid is part of the diagnosis, and it's important for people to know this. … Continue reading The Eerie Stillness of Bad News
New Moon In Scorpio 11.15.2020
Today is also my Uncle's 68th birthday. He's been gone nine years and I nearly broke down this morning when I looked at old photos saved on my laptop and phone. I miss you so much, Zio. Thank you for all the good lessons you taught me and the girls. Thank you for supporting my … Continue reading New Moon In Scorpio 11.15.2020
When The Raw Pain Is So Unbearable
“When the raw pain is so unbearable and unbelievable, you may wonder if you can go on. But, you can, and will. And life can be good again—when you work at it.

My Life Is Not an ‘Acceptable Loss’ During the COVID-19 Pandemic
https://themighty.com/2020/06/life-devalued-covid-19-chronic-illness/? I, too, have noticed what is most important to people. The shallow depths are obnoxious as hell.

The … Continue reading My Life Is Not an ‘Acceptable Loss’ During the COVID-19 Pandemic
The Mystery of Death
“The mystery of death, the riddle of how you could speak to someone and see them every day and then never again, was so impossible to fathom that of course we kept trying to figure it out, even when we were unconscious.” ―Francine Prose
Facing The Pain: Part I
This was a full blown post and the written content didn't publish. I will try to recreate it later on.
We Live In A World…
“We live in a world that is beyond our control, and life is in a constant flux of change. So we have a decision to make: keep trying to control a storm that is not going to go away or start learning how to live within the rain.” ―Glenn Pemberton
Perhaps Some Day
"Perhaps some day the sun will shine again, And I shall see that still the skies are blue, And feel once more I do not live in vain, Although bereft of you. Perhaps the golden meadows at my feet, Will make the sunny hours of spring seem gay, And I shall find the white May-blossoms … Continue reading Perhaps Some Day
