Hello Jane. I have been following you since my husband died on June 9 of this year after a major heart attack. I so appreciate your candid writing expressing what is taking place during your grief. Your recent piece on the elasticity of time is so powerful. Thank you. My husband was a lover of quantum physics. He always tried to wrap his head around the past, present and future happening all at once. I felt like I was living that in the early months. I was deep in the present, waves of the past never stopped, and I could only see void looking into the future. The experience was deeply surreal. I, too, can hear my husband and know what he would say in each situation. Yes, so many unanswered questions. I so appreciate you articulating all of this. Peace to you and your family. Barbara
Jane, As always, your writing is beautiful. The mystery of time and grief...I was about to write how accurately portrayed you've said it, but of course, the handling of both time and grief is so individual...so, instead, I will say how wonderfully and beautifully you portray yourself and how much perspective it gives all of us. Sending warm wishes for a peaceful new year. xo, Jen
