Every year I add more grief to my calendar and it’s getting heavy
Lately I’ve been noticing my calendar filling up with dates tied to people I’ve lost. Birthdays, the day they passed - ( I can’t imagine widowers on top of that )
Because as time goes on, that list is only going to grow. And I don’t know if that’s healthy or even sustainable. At some point it feels like every week/month is tied to grief, on top of the birthdays and holidays for people who are still here.
Even worse if you come from a large family
