As I've said before in Forced Joy - you are so FREAKING deserving of this honor! You have given all of us grievers (widows, widowers, parental loss, child loss and all the other kinds of loss that exist) a place to feel seen, accepted and to find others in the same place we are! I've learned so much from you over the last 2+ years, so thank you for putting your big girl pantsuit on and accepting the recognition that you have worked your ass off for!!!! <3
Brilliant. I wrote ravenously, publicly, after my sons death, too— I couldn’t talk, but I needed to be witnessed. I still do, but it has become challenging as time marches on— I feel intensely vulnerable, almost 10 years later, because it often feels like I am still the only one talking about grief that I know. I’m grateful for your fearless sharing! Thank you for all your doing to keep grief visible. Congratulations on your much deserved nomination!
Christina, I feel so similarly - the vulnerability that comes with time (I would have thought it would have been the opposite). So grateful that you continue to talk and be an advocate for all of us!
Congratulations so well deserved. When I found your instagram account I felt seen as your words made so much sense. I felt less alone and still do. Thank you (and love your outfit!) x
This is so relatable. I spoke so boldly after Dave died. I wrote in verse on the internet. Then I wrote in poems in a book. I begged to be on any podcast where someone would listen and often my plea to speak about LOVE and DEATH fell on deaf ears but the ones who listened I like to think found a little more understanding in their hearts. I couldn’t explain it at the time but yes…seen. While grieving is such an internal process the piece of being seen allowed me to release some shame in it all
