We don't NEED you to write. We need you to heal. And that will take time. So much time. You will write when YOU need to write. Take care. Sending butterfly energy.

I am so sorry that you are going through so much grief right now. I am, too, in my own way. I learned a term this morning that I am loving and maybe you will, too. When a caterpillar goes into its cocoon, it essentially turns into a blob of mushy cells before it transforms into a butterfly. Those cells are called imaginal cells. The imaginal cells contain the blueprint for the creation of the butterfly that will eventually emerge. I am embracing the notion that my imaginal cells know what to do and that they have the exact right blueprint to follow to create the butterfly that I will eventually become when I emerge from this grief. I hope this idea helps you, too, Julie.

I am so sorry you are sitting in the heavy right now. My heart and love are with you.

However, and not to minimize your pain, but your grief heart brings out genius word chemistry. Wow!
