I love the new name. Started reading Ordinary Light and in Tracy K Smith Prologue it speaks of pain : Did we recognize when it arrived? A day with so much pain, a day when her patience had dissolved and she wanted nothing but be outside of it. I think that grief can be this way too. Grief always needs something different from me. Expressing all of it usually helps, finding peace/grace/joy outside and inside of it makes it easier to bear.

The new name is everything! s/o to Gloria. Journaling is my grieving tool. When I write in my journal I know im writing 100% for me and that's what let's me grieve. On days where I just don't have the energy to write about the pain, I watch movies and shows that will allow me to release similar feelings until I'm ready to face the raw emotions.
