Beautiful, Anu. The sun always rises, and tomorrow always comes, no matter how challenging today is.

Yes❤️And thank God for that. PS: I have a teen son and it seems sometimes that the sun takes too long to rise😉

I love Auden, and I think he captures the throes of grief perfectly. And then you capture the next morning (which may come months later or more). Thanks for your perspective - neither one negates the other.

Yes, wisely said, C.L. Funeral Blues is true and exquisite poetry. It was a moment of inspiration, written for a friend and friends in grief, and as much for myself. I hope to be able to pirouette towards hope from grief faster in life than I have before:)
