A Place for Grief

The grief is always there,  I’ve taken Stephen Colbert’s excellent advice to simply make a place for  grief, to acknowledge that it’s always at the door and will find a way in if I don’t welcome it. I don’t try to shut it down, and sometimes I make specific plans to give it the space it needs. -  I know this with my head.  Now I just have to explain it to my heart.  (Jana Reiss)
