Listing losses

Back in the day we studied our stress by listing losses. Marking life experiences.

All the cross-cultural moves. Illnesses. Births. Deaths. Evacuations.

Added up, the numbers were telling. 

Stress levels confirmed.

Listing losses.

Unto us

Unto us a Child is born.

Unto us. In a broken world. Where sorrow runs deep. And grief overwhelms. 

Where loss breaks our hearts.

And we forget to breathe.

Complicated grief

Some days, when it can’t get any worse, it does. Leading to a complicated grief.

This tangled story of deception is not ours alone. 

No. All along the darkening path, we meet others who know. And understand.
