I am a
writer
reader
poet
mother
chocolate lover
I write about
grief and rawness
memory
dementia
love in all its many and complicated forms
finding joy in the midst of loss
gratitude in the midst of grief
mothers and daughters
letting our spirits guide our way through the dark times
hearts breaking open to the wild beauty and brokenness of the world
