So I just want to say that here and I thought about the purpose of it, besides for me is also just I find that I often need permission to feel and to be human. And so I think I'm feeling and being human and I'm also wanting to give you permission to be human. So join me in feeling and being human. And I name this grief as weird because it is

#GriefIsWeird Talking out my loss in real time to release and process my emotions while giving others the permission I often need to feel & be real.

#GriefIsWeird Photo Explaination

So I am having a hard time being able to process my grief in my way because my dog's needs are great, and f*** if that doesn't represent my life. Now she's coming and giving me kidses. But I just wanted to explain the Googly Eyed Bell Peppers and what the h*** they have to do with my grief. So about a week before my kid was hit, coming home on the crosswalk from work

#GriefIsWeird Description continued

So I never really, while she was here, saw the finished product of these bell peppers. But I just had all these great memories. And then about a month after, after she passed, her photography teacher reached out. It sent us a drive with all of her photos. And then also going through her room, I found her portfolios

Girl grief be weird. Okay, there is a comedian. His name is Tony Baker. You can search for him on Instagram. And I liked how he did a few clips about his grief when his son was killed. I want to say that was about four, five months ago, I believe. People were street racing, and him and his friends were caught in the middle of the street racing. They weren't racing with the people that were street racing

It's love that fills in the corner of your eyes and the lumbar open your throat and hollow of your chest and it's love that you can't give or express to the person that you're missing. And I thought that was a nice thought. Anyway, thanks again for pulling me by the arm and into your conversations

Kind of being out and working again, et cetera. So I went, was feeling really good, had a really great day. A lot of people there did not know what had happened and then the ones that did were very gracious and had actually worked with my daughter before. My wife had brought her for a couple of days into BFA production assistant on a job about a month before she passed. So some of these people had really connected with her

Hey, Wren. Thank you for responding. And I'm very sorry for your loss of your mother. I think it was the first time I heard of this, and I feel you and yeah, the I really like what you said, what you said your sister in law posted about grief. It's true. And a lot of times what I have is moments when I'm overwhelmed with moments of just having this love and not having her to share it with

When I met my wife, she was really one of the first people that I had met and certainly that I had been in a relationship, even a friendship, really with that had really encouraged me, almost sometimes demanded of. Me to take time for myself, to sit down, to enjoy the moment to whatever and stop being, if anybody knows, the biblical references, the Martha and doing and stuff and be more of the merry and enjoy the moment

And every time there is this common thread where they would have these lives here on Earth where we had these lessons to learn, I guess you could call them spiritual lessons. And we would go back. We would go back home and we would be with our spiritual family. And it was fascinating, a really fascinating read

But there is something there for me, at least I have felt it before and that my wife and she believed had come from a similar background to me. Both reading our little Bibles. My favorite book was Psalms Hershes Proverbs which very much explains us and we both wanted to be missionaries but not the kind that changed people, but the kind that just lived aside and learned from one another and we still have that underlying heart. But she believed in reincarnation
