I have passed the expiry date for polite and socially acceptable grief and I am okay with this.
The 29th April 2019 marks the two year anniversary of Dan’s death. At the one year anniversary I shared ( here) some of the books that have been part of my journey and a little about how I am experiencing being a widow.
Six months after Dan died I shared some of the eulogy I gave at his funeral ( here) – I cannot re-read this post but it may be helpful to you if you are in early grief…and if you know me or knew Dan, I’d love to you to re-read it so you never forget him. Obviously the snippets on social media are a curated version of my life and there is an awful lot more mess and screaming in my actual life, but I have certainly welcomed my online village into our lives, being careful not to overshare the lives of the girls, because their stories are their own to tell. In being authentic, my blog readers have watched ChickPea and PudStar (as they are known online) grow and they have been invited into aspects of our lives. When people meet me, they often tell me that I sound exactly as they imagined and I dearly hope this is true as I do strive to be authentic in all I do. In this post you will find all of things people ask me for on a regular basis: blog recommendations about life and death and parenting with grief books on grief to purchase and read my own rambling thoughts on grief in general. This is a *ridiculously* long blog post about grief and will not be at all be smiled upon by the web people who tell me to stick to 800 words.
If you are new to my blog, welcome to my corner of the interwebs, where I talk books…with a side-serve of grief.
