For so long, it feels like a tunnel with no end. A year later, maybe it feels like a tunnel with some windows. Next year, who know? Thank you for creating this and for all those who participate.Aureliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17528817051363589747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8013443217504323406.post-23824843760818740072013-07-10T01:52:22.774-04:002013-07-10T01:52:22.774-04:00Thank you for hosting this again.

I will be asking him to read some of these entries so that he understands the concept, and then I will ask him to write his own as a bit of a project. I think it's important we all identify where we are, and to know that where ever you are, no matter how far away you are from their death, it's all OK. It's all normal.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8013443217504323406.post-70581009260382691842013-07-02T06:28:52.920-04:002013-07-02T06:28:52.920-04:00I first wrote a post for 'Right Where I Am'...I first wrote a post for 'Right Where I Am' this time last year and you kindly published it on your blog for me. This spurred me on (along with 2 other bereaved mums) to create our own blog space (lossthroughthelookingglass.blogspot.co.uk that any bereaved parent could contribute to. This year we are again writing posts on our blog for the project that started us off as well as playing host to others we have met on this journey who have also been inspired to write about where they are in their journeys.

Over and over to each of your words, yes. <br /><br />"I could photograph Grief back then, standing in every family shot, right behind me shooting up two fingers behind my head, whispering, "Bunny ears, bitch."" Yes yes yes. <br /><br />"My daughter's death lies just beyond reach. It was there. She was there. Or rather her absence was there. I was so sure of the negative space that was just the size of her. I could see the place where she should have been, the mother I was supposed to be, but now, it is only this one life I'm living. I'm too far down this path to remember any other path that once opened for me.<br /><br />She is gone. Poof. Presto. Ala-Kazaam. It is the most terrible magic trick ever. A black sheet thrown over my grief, and it is gone, and so is she." Jesus. Yes yes yes.<br /><br />"Truthfully, I have trouble being a mom in the schoolyard waiting for my kids, making chit chat. I do it. I try, but I can never quite get over that hurdle of "BUT THE BABY DIED." Yes yes yes. <br /><br />Should I copy and paste your whole blog? <br /><br />As always, I am so moved by your words. Thank you, Angie, my friend, for being such a light in a such a dark place. I am so forever grateful that you were here, offering beauty from the ashes in your hands, as I walked this road. I don't return to this place as often these days, but I think of you and your darling Lucia Paz so often. Much love.<br /><br />- Kari<br /><br />Karihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15335571698399405691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8013443217504323406.post-67785704075773541272013-06-23T13:03:51.401-04:002013-06-23T13:03:51.401-04:00Thank you for this.

I don't blog much at all anymore, nor do I comment (which makes me feel pangs of guilt on a daily basis, but I can only do so much) but at the very least, I know I'll always come back for this project. When I got wind of it being on again this year, I simply knew i had to take part.<br />As always, your post was breathtaking and you capture what so many of us around the same timeline are feeling, but in a way I never could. You're incredibly clever and I feel lucky to know you. <br />Thank you Angie.
