Grief is an odd human experience. I learned today that my ex-- whom I loved deeply and dearly -- has passed away . His new wife didnt want me to know but his daughter called me anyway . It has been over 20 years since we even spoke but in this instant I feel his presence , how he smelled and how mean he could be. Yet as the pain of loss washes through me, I can send him on his way with love. I know he is at peace and surrounded by love. What is it about one person passing that brings up the grief of every loved that has passed. In the quiet of this moment , I know my comfort comes from having loved so deeply.
