Meryl, I just couldn’t leave without a word after reading such a beautifully written piece which caught my breath and felt like an intimate conversation with you. You are so courageous in your care and love and it seeps through in your words here 💛

You’ve made me think about how complicated grief can be - grief is love is what I’ve been taught and it’s beautiful but perhaps that’s too simple for the complexities our relationships hold? Xxxx

Thank you Nicola, means so much you read this and reached out. Absolutely - I’ve been grappling with the definition of grief in order to properly grieve! It’s been a journey for sure. I think we’re fed a process on ‘how to grieve’ which actually doesn’t quite fit for everyone. Of course it doesn’t! Giving myself permission to do whatever I need to do in this has been such a gift.
