madness, part two

Today I have a post up at Glow in the Woods. I feel so honored to have been asked to be a regular contributor over there, to be reading and writing alongside those wonderful voices.

Like many of the brand new babylost, Glow was the first online community of support I found, when I was still shock, when I still had no words for what had happened. Here was this gentle space being quietly and lovingly filled up by voices speaking the unspeakable, making it okay to talk about it. What a gift.

Also like many, I was brought there by someone who loves me, by someone sadly in the know. My sister sat with me and brought up Glow on my laptop and showed me the page about how to stop my milk with cabbage leaves and sage tea. Bless you, Glow, for being unafraid of all the messiness of our losses.

Speaking of messy, I am still thinking and writing about madness and grief. If you want to share a bit about your own version of crazy, please join me over at Glow.

PS. Thank you, wonderful people, for remembering us and for your messages of love earlier this week. So much appreciated. If I haven't been reading and commenting much, it is because I am up to my ears in packing boxes. Meanwhile you are in my heart, and I'll be online in my new spot soon.
