Grieving “Normal”
A friend of mine lost his mom recently. The funeral will have to wait. Another friend postponed her wedding. Yet another friend will miss her prom and graduation. We are grieving “normal.” We are accepting great loss with a hell of a lot of uncertainty on top of it. I've been texting people every day with one question, “How are you?” Their responses filled with the underlying sadness of grieving normal. I find beyond the fear we are sad. These texts are a source of love for me, helping me out of self, helping me out of my fear, and my grief of normal. The texts remind me we need to “touch” the heart of everyone we know right now because it helps. Before you shut it down today or before you overindulge in the fear or scarcity of this moment, text someone. Allow that to upend your sadness. Touch a heart with one question and see if that helps the grieving of normal.
