24. It took a long time but I came to terms with my loss

Thu Sep 25, 2025, 11:20 AM

Sep 25

I read that some things are unacceptable. That one sentence helped me get back to where I wanted to be. I haven't let myself feel how much I miss my friend of 67 years, who died Oct. 1st last year. I imagine I'll just go on missing her until we meet again.

I don't worry about seeing my loved ones. I talk to them when I feel like it. I love dreams that feature the people who went ahead of me. I've noticed that in my dreams, no one actually talks, but we all understand what each is communicating. The only person I haven't seen in my dreams is my brother. I get the feeling that when he went from here to there, he was transformed and he didn't any ties to be happy. Nothing selfish, only joy.

Whatever keeps us together in the here and now
