Grief is definitely a tsunami. I guess the only thing we can do is release the pain without trying to numb it down. You wrote this in a way that we can feel it

wash over us too. Everyone has been there and then you do have that moment of relief.

Thank God, “Grief is meant to be a transitory space.”

Yes, It's when we get stuck there that things get harder and harder, and sometimes, moving forward is the hardest part of all, because when you've lost something wonderful, the grief may be all you have left to hold of whatever or whoever it was that is gone.

Yeah, even when you lose your job.

Mine ended last Friday.

Today was a PJs day.

I did search for jobs online.

That hasn’t been super successful in the past. Monday, I am going to go see what’s going on in the real world.

Oh my god. Oh my god. I miss you so much. This is fucking amazing. I was literally just in the middle of typing your words to my brothers. I have had writing ideas pouring into my head. I was thinking about you so much last night. I am Jeanette deprived. I’m better when you are in my life actively. When I can see your face. When I have been angst ridden for a week and you say “hello” on the Zoom and that solves all my problems. You are so brilliant Jeanette. So tremendously brilliant.
