Selfish Grief • Mourning the Loss of Myself

by KatieP, in category Head | Mindfulness

I cannot legitimately take my place among those who mourn the loss of someone they loved, someone who they miss every day and who they long to see again for just a few moments. My husband is dead, and the manner of his death was unnatural… Read More

Are you okay?
I ask my boyfriend.

this is not my story

Author – Katie Paul

I have survived adoption, bulimia and the suicide of my husband, more or less unscathed. I attribute my resilience to my guardian angels Bob, Fred and Hugo.
