I appreciate that my words resonate, Taylor. We have a unique perspective. Time doesn't heal grief but it gives us different perspectives on how to live alongside it.

Sending ❤️

So well written…what tough losses and experiences. Thanks for sharing the lessons you gleaned from painful times like these. Having walked with parents and loved ones through cancer while coping with our own significant conditions, I could relate to some degree. Learning to take care of ourselves is essential. Blessings on you as you continue adapting.
