A quotation from Pratchett, Terry
She heard him mutter, “Can you take away this grief?”
“I’m sorry,” she replied. “Everyone asks me. And I would not do so even if I knew how. It belongs to you. Only time and tears take away grief; that is what they are for.”
Terry Pratchett (1948-2015) English author
I Shall Wear Midnight (2010)

This has to stop
We can't allow these innocent children suffer just because they were born in the wrong county.

The word grief has lost all its meaning in Gaza. One minute you are burying your kids, the next day you need to get in line for water, food, or escape bombs. People of Gaza have lost the privilege of grieving; we don’t have the luxury to feel anything. We need to keep running to try to survive this genocide.
--- Hossam Shabat, Palestinian reporter in Gaza

The vocals take a while to kick in, except... persist they are exquisite and an expression of so many on this planet at this time. The hope behind the lament.
Unless you know me fairly well, you probably don't realize that I am not a "holidays" person. Between #autism, #cPTSD, and #grief, I find the excessive cheer exhausting. The required #masking of my true feelings wears me out.
But please know, I don't begrudge anyone their holidays.
Happy Holidays to one and all.

it takes #healing, processing, to come to healthy terms with what happened. #trauma.
(and as silly as it first seems, try #EFT, which, surprisingly, works even better the more severe the stuff being dealt with in #ptsd or #cptsd or #grief or #addiction or #survivorguilt or #stress or #anxiety or #depression or #burnout , or whatever trauma from, and with, toxic overload...
this Emotional Freedom Technique stuff helps,
as silly as it first seems, it really helps. it's no magic pixie wand that solves everything, but it helps with the #overwhelmed #overwhelm, helps widen the processing aperture and expedite the jam straight through )
#mendwards
[no guarantees, do research it yourself, just speaking from my experience, it astonishes me how much it helps, enough i want to share it, perchance it really helps alleviate a lot of suffering.]

The harsh reality of grief is that once the funeral is over, people move on with their lives leaving you all alone to walk this lonely and painful journey of grief. Little does anyone care that for griever, everyday is a new battle to start being strong all over again.

West #Sussex art installation remembers victims of #Covid-19
Local charity Dementia Support has been working in partnership with West Sussex County Council and The Selsey Community Forum to purchase two hundred steel forget-me-nots from Chi-Africa.
The aim is to help provide a space for #communities to come together to share their #grief in a meaningful way after the #lockdowns prevented them from doing so at the time, with many not getting the chance to say goodbye.
Martha Pusey, head of Sage House, said: “The idea for the reflections project came about with two carers in mind that we supported during the #pandemic who lost loved ones living with #dementia. The project is very much dedicated to their memories.
Chi-Africa is a local business that produces garden sculptures from recycled materials in partnerships with craftsmen in #Zimbabwe.
Alongside the #forget-me-nots, there will be an opportunity for people to share their personal reflections in a jar. These will then be turned into five Books of #Remembrance after the event and will be held in local libraries.
A quotation by Tolkien, J.R.R.
The world is indeed full of peril, and in it there are many dark places; but still there is much that is fair, and though in all lands love is now mingled with grief, it grows perhaps the greater.
J.R.R. Tolkien (1892-1973) English writer, fabulist, philologist, academic [John Ronald Reuel Tolkien]
