Snapshots from a grieving brain.

Memorializing Max

March 19, 2021, we lost our sweet kitty, Max. A year later, I find myself reflecting on his life.

Going Toward; Running From

I get caught in the tension of pushing in and pulling away from love for fear of the pain I know comes when all that's left are memories.

Touching Death

I walked in the room expecting to see an earth suit. What I saw sent me into full panic mode.

The Joker

I could give Joaquin Phoenix a run for his money.

Father(less) Day

Father's Day is a different experience for each of us and can change year-to-year.

Fly Me to the Moon

I kept having a vision of singing over my grandpa, but I couldn’t make out the song.

Memorializing Loss

Processing loss is worthy of our time and focus.

We must bear witness to one another’s grief.

Fear of Forgetting

How can we move on when we fear forgetting those we’ve lost?

Sweet Release

My final moments with my grandmother provided healing for me and hopefully her.
