Oh, dear Stephanie, I beg you to write about grief. You have the gift of the pen, and with that gift, you are able to express what many of us carry and cannot speak about. We are all grieving losses; for some of us, the grief is sharp and fresh, and for others it has grown dull but is still a bit tender. I don’t know why, but it seems that an occasional reminder of the grief and the memory of our deceased loved ones helps the loss. It is like we say, “ahh, yes, Dad (or Mum), I love you, and I miss you, and you are important to me, and I never want to forget that… thank you for the reminder.” When you write of your Mum and your grief, I remember my Dad, and my mother-in-law, and the tears may flow, but I’m glad to have those tears, because I love them. And because you write so well, you help all of us remember those we love in such a special way. So please write of your grief. We all need it (including you), and we miss your Mum, and we miss our own Mums and Dads. Thank you.
