This resonated so much with my reasons for writing. Our healing…and the opportunity to spend time with our children again. Both so important. Have restacked 🙏
Your words, as always, but particularly here, are moving, clear and honest. With each sentence, you take us on a journey alongside you, and if we're so inclined into ourselves. There, sometimes, if we're brave enough, we discover, "the undiscovered country," that internal land of memories and feelings.
So beautiful and honest. You put into words things that defy words, and I feel like I'm walking with you when I read your writing. Sending you big hugs.
Lisa, I read everything you write. Without being able to comment on your experience, I want to say that my experience of reading your words has been steadying especially over the last three weeks. Three weeks ago, my husband left me. Very suddenly, very shockingly. The rejection and all the feelings have overwhelmed me and I’ve woken up some mornings not wanting to live. 31 years of organizing myself with him was a long time. Everything doesn’t reset just like that. Yet writing a bit, on your urging has helped. Some things have come clear. Not too many but a few. Like midlife crisis is nothing to cough at. And love never dies. Only the form. I love you, Lisa. Old friend. You are… so good.
