Beautiful, Dal. Intense. Searing. Blessings to the outward success of such a deep, inward process.

“spin us and leave us wishing for that one last hug and wishing that we had loved everything we had ever lost just that little bit more”. Yes. Left pondering how to leave a mother. How to be left by a mother. How earth losing it is. Beautiful piece. Thanks.

Thank you so much for sharing this. Such an extraordinary piece of writing.

I lost my Dad seven months ago and reading this helped me to feel a little less of the 'bone-loneliness' you describe so brilliantly here. Thank you. Thank you. 💜✨🌞

Thank you Sophie. Really glad to hear you enjoyed the piece and that it helped to ease the 'boneliness' (my new word to describe this feeling). Very sorry to hear you lost your Dad so recently 🙏🏽💓. Much love and solidarity as you journey through these times.
