"Sooner or later in life
The things you love you lose."
~Florence + The Machine

This advice column about "The Obliterated Place" of grief offers some incredibly raw yet touching insights into managing loss that truly seems unmanageable. I'm not often moved emotionally by the longreads that are posted here, but this is a definite exception.

Thought this was interesting
ReplyDeleteIt is impossible for you to go on as you were before, so you must go on as you never have.
Is our theme of the week going to be sad?
I haven't decided if there will be a theme for this week or not. I just thought this was really powerful and wanted to post it.
ReplyDeleteHonestly, I thought last week's articles were pretty damn sad...
