I Wish

October 14, 2020 by Jen Brull

The thought came unexpectedly: I wish I could call my dad. He would be proud of me. He would share my joy. He’d ask a lot of questions. He’d keep track of my activities over the next few years. I know these things to be true, and still want the experience.

In Your Own Time

“I am so sorry for your loss.”
Words I say not infrequently in the course of my work.

“Everyone’s timeline for grief is different.”
I must have said the phrase a hundred times over the years.

Good things to say. My head knew they were: true, helpful, kind. Now my heart knows more.
