Oh my goodness. You write so beautifully about such heart-wrenching and difficult topics - mental illness, suicide, and more. I find so much solace in your pieces, Mary. Please keep writing.

Mary...thanks for the wisdom and wit here. Grateful...Especially grateful for the line from Frances Weller...“I have come to have a deep faith in grief…help unwind the grief that carries us along after Drew's death last August...

Yes, that’s so powerful, isn’t it? Otherwise, for me, I spend a lot of energy resisting grief in its many forms. Now it feels like a familiar (if annoying) old friend. Love to you and your family in this peculiar pain.

Reading this conversation makes me realize how insignificant my own problems are. But I think offering a parallel track in one’s own life can be a welcome offering received by another person. I think I am more reacting than contributing today.
