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.
Caitlin, I'm just seeing your reply — so sorry I missed it when you first sent. And my heart is breaking for all the terrible losses you've experienced these last five years—any one alone is hard enough, but combined?! I cannot even fathom; it's incredible that you've held up, somehow, through it all. Sending such huge hugs your way, and thank you for sharing here 💔❤️🩹

Thank you, Jenny! It's all taught me so much and continues to do so. 🤗❤️🩹
