Looking for the light sounds like a good plan. But so does sitting and watching the surf. Grief has no expectations. Continuing to hold you in kind and healing thought, Stella.
I love the photos, Stella. You're doing something. You're seeking light. I remember just a year and half ago, I was flying back and forth to Tulsa for my brother. When I came back home via car for the last time with his dogs in tow, I wanted nothing to do with humanity. It felt like an incredible gut punch. I know I keep saying this, but it does get better. This site helped me enormously - https://whatsyourgrief.com. BIG hug from the other side of the country...
The cabinet door is amazing. I read your newsletter then thought about it all day. I looked at it again several times this evening. One of my favourite images.
That's so wonderful to know, Cedric. I'm glad the cabinet door with the light spoke to you. Thank you for looking and for letting me know. I needed that today.
You have such a wonderful eye and sense of light. I agree with Juliette. Seeking that light is doing something. It can be a lifeline, a raison d’être when the world seems completely upside down. Sending you a great big hug.
except that profile picture with the yellow background, you know what's gonna do you good? a virtual hug 🤗
go on, get your camera, get tina and go for a walk!
You got it, perfect light.

Thank you, Laura. Grief has no expectations. I'll remember that.
A tiny crack of light is all you need to start. Can you trust me on this? Sending my very best wishes.
I trust you on this, Alice. Thank you.

What a great resource, Juliette. Thank you! I appreciate it. Feeling the hug.
Be kind and gentle with your reintegration back and YES, keep following the light!!
Thanks, A! I try to remember that. Will be in touch soon.
I hope you finally get some rest and light! Be patient and kind with yourself. You have gone through a lot the past few months…

Thank you so much, Anne. It sure is. I've been photographing this week and it's helped tremendously. Feeling your hug from across the continent.
