episode 35: The Brochure on Continuing Grief and the Solace of a Dog
The journey through grief is as unique as the bonds we form, and this episode is a candid exploration of my own path, marked by both sorrow and unexpected moments of joy. Reflecting on author and philosopher Judith Butler's insights, I delve into the profound disorientation that comes with the loss of someone integral to our identity. Join me in understanding the intricate dance between the pain of missing a loved one and the small victories that life still offers, like the heartwarming dog parade that brought a smile in the midst of healing.
Amidst the ebb and flow of emotions, this week has been about grounding myself in the simple pleasures, such as the social goings-on at the neighborhood dog parade with my loyal companion, Brownie. There's a touch of the bittersweet as I navigate the complexities of grieving while also savoring the fresh air and community spirit that brings a semblance of normalcy. We even managed to snag Second Place for the Overall Competition! Whatever happens, life does go on.
