24th April today. 2013. Not a significant date for me, and yet I found myself caught out by grief. I read Rob Parson’s latest Care For the Family letter, and it made me cry. The quotation he shared from C. S. Lewis’ A Grief Observed prompted me to order my own copy. I read a couple of excerpts online that resonated inside, and made me think of the final couple of lines of Birth Mother ‘s first stanza. I realised I have a lot to say and share about grief. I am still grieving.
