within each of us
our loved ones, in tiny form,
caring's innate yield
company at a distance
legacy in case of loss

I'll post some notes in a comment on this thread.
I’m so impressed with the leadership at UnidosNow for prioritizing pleasure & #wellness for their staff during such challenging times. This was one of the loveliest workshops I’ve ever led—outdoors, next to a pond filled with ducks, geese and turtles, underneath the shade of cypress trees. What’s the word for a stunningly beautiful moment lined with sadness? #clay #art #crafts #nature #healing #grief #community
when you left this world
my heart became a hovel
where a mansion once stood

I feel a sense of #grief I haven't in a while.
I miss my mom particularly harshly at the moment.
I think it's because I feel lost, when usually I am very self assured and guided.
With the #usa the way it is, the future is nothing but uncertainty, and when I felt lost I would seek her guidance.
She was amazingly wise after a hard life. Harder than most I know.
I can't now.
So I'll pray.
Not to any God, but to her.
Her words were more powerful than any holy book EVER was.

Kumar's retelling of this traditional story focuses most on all of us, victims of horror and grief, and about the attachments to an idea of justice which we carry.
#3GoodThings (getting harder with each passing day)
1. Official 36th anniversary with my husband but we met in #Berkeley, 1982.
2. Did a grief support group for #HFC. Although my computer crashed and when it came back to life I had no video, I think it went well. Laughter. Tears. As the title of the grief group says, "Keeping Each Other Company: #Caregiving and #Grief." We did that.
3. Finished grading student papers and submitted grades. Some truly spectacular essays on #EdgarAllanPoe.

Rosie is being a good mom and making sure to keep them feed. Both pictures are of her feeding them. 
When you’re stuck in processing and re-processing and every time you see their names in your work it feel like your heart is being pummeled, it’s a bad day.
Thirty years gone and it still hurts. And one can’t be remembered without the other. It’s torture.
