This came to my attention via an online site dedicated to thought provoking quotations and the history behind them. The site sends an e-mail every week...my husband found it interesting and turned me and many of his students into subscribers. Yesterday the theme was grief and the C. S. Lewis quotation, which I had read before, struck me anew. I do feel such fear now, about so many things, strangely including some quite trivial. Even writing this down makes my heart pound a bit, very odd.
Another quotation from the same e-mail came from long ago British prime minister Benjamin Disraeli, who wrote that ‘the indulgence of grief is the blunder of a lifetime.’ That somehow resonates with me, though not in the same visceral way that the C. S. Lewis quotation does.

Being the Other Woman/Other Man
This is for anyone who has lost their lover to death and you were the other woman/other man in their life. We have to grieve in silence. I can't find any support groups and feel like I'm the only one going through this situationSee More

LESBIAN ..GAY 2 SPIRITED loss and grief
Anyone who has lost their gay partner..soon finds that there may be a few things that are different...such as sorting through things and feeling like an intruder because it is also family stuff etcSee More
Assumptions
An assumption is an unexamined belief: what is thought to be true without ever really realizing that we think in that way. For better or worse, understanding starts with entertaining the idea that something is true. Truly profound thoughts generally come to light from the relaxation of these (flawed) assumptions. This is where I find myself today...Perhaps, one of the more significant drivers to pushing down the loss and grief at the time of the accident, ignoring it and mindlessly walking…See More
