Oh, Annie. Words fail. I think of Richard and you often. And the best I can do is send love. It’s not enough.

Because I live and love, it is so helpful to watch you walk this difficult path ahead of me. As your brother said. Keep writing!

Thank you for putting words to your grief. For yourself and for all of us who have walked our own path with grief or will do someday. There is great honor in the honesty of it all.

Thank you for sharing about the darkness, the exhaustion, the guilt that can accompany caregiving for a a loved one, even when you’ve done your best, that almost no one ever talks about. No two experiences are alike, and I make no claim to compare mine to yours, Ann. But I must tell you that these words touched me deeply. They made me feel less alone with thoughts that still haunt me sometimes and brought a measure of comfort. Love to you, my friend.
