Whoops, I forgot to copy my submission and paste it here! But I talked about how I didn't know grief before 2020. And then it hit me hard in a series of changes - leaving being a professor, selling our house, divorcing my husband who then unexpectedly died, saying goodbye to our adopted teenage daughter, saying goodbye to my two dogs...a lot of loss in the last five years. And a deep appreciation for life as it emerges and shifts.
