Shock And Awe

And sometimes we need a roll of paper towels for all the crying we do and that is just fine. My prayer continues to be "and thanks for the little while" which is what Darcie Sims said all the time. I think that when we bring our grief out into the open as we do here we are acknowledging that grief is a communal action and is not to be hidden. We need to do more of this.

Anne, I moved up to paper towels too.  Kleenex just couldn't handle to job.  The world we live in is not comfortable with grief.  I see it every time I talk with someone who has not been exposed to it as we have.  It's a lonely place and makes the world hard to navigate now.  Hiding it only hurts us adding more stress on top of the pain.  Drains even more energy gen we have so little.
