From Shane
A song in a grocery store. Her handwriting on a recipe card. It does not go away; it changes shape. I stopped waiting to be done with it and started carrying it on purpose, which is a different thing. If you are years in and it still knocks the wind out of you sometimes, you are not stuck. You loved somebody.
“It traces the slow turning of a wound into a scar.”— from the jacket
What helped at this mile
- Grief and widowhood, years in
- Put a memory of them somewhere it will stay
- One line from the book to send to someone who gets it
The book. You will recognize most of this book. That is the point of it. On the Healing Road
The one next step
Send this mile to someone
"This is where I am" is the truest thing you can send. They land on this page.
