Oh Diane… I feel seen. A couple of years ago, my mum died. Then a few months later, my dad died. Then even my cat died. Then this year, I split from my husband. I was just emerging from the existential angst of death when that happened. And now I’m there again. I’m writing and writing, pouring it all into my substack. I’m working and making new friends and trying new things. I’ve got all my shit together, except that I’m falling apart at the seams. Thank you for saying what I didn’t realise I needed to say. I’m going to save this one and re read xx

Oh gosh, that’s so much in such a short space of time, I’m so sorry you’ve had to navigate all that — you could be forgiven for just lying on the carpet howling but sounds like you’re trying so hard. Sending love and peace to you ❤️
