“I’m thinking of grief as a ball. Sometimes it is large and sometimes small. Sometimes hard and sometimes soft. I can pretend to throw it as far as I can, but it finds its way back. Sometimes I can let it rest almost comfortably in my pocket, and at other times it becomes huge and rolls right over me. More often than not, the ball feels like it has taken on a life of its own. Then, the challenge becomes accepting that dynamic or putting a lot of wasted effort into trying to deny it.”
