Hopefully it will help you to know how your open heart fits so many others. Beautiful Pia, and I also understand better why you can swim in the freezing Bay!
This was absolutely stunning, Pia. Thank you for sharing your ghosts with us, and for acknowledging that this is a bittersweet time of year for so many people.
Thank you for sharing your beautiful framing of grief. May their memories be a blessing to you. That is an old Jewish expression I didn’t fully understand until I experienced profound losses. Hope swimming or something else you love helps feel the blessing of their memories ❤️
Beautiful, rich, resonant. Your ghosts have been heard.
I agree with rich and resonant writing of grief.
Thanks so much Robin.

Thanks Heather, every year I try to get a little better at making time.

Thanks Diane. The freezing bay helps everything!
Super resonated with this one. Great piece of writing here.
Beautifully stated. A Day of the Dead altar might be a way to let your ghosts be with you, talk to them, comfort you.
Love that idea Bonna. I have never done it physically, just in my head.
This is beautiful, and helps me to get in touch with my own “grief ghosts.” Thank you.
Thanks Jenny. ❤️
