She was supposed to be smart, but not that smart. Girls in those days were not supposed to know all the answers and get the very highest marks in class... but that's what she did.
She was supposed to be deferential and play dainty tea parties, not collect frogs and climb trees and fish for crawdads with a string, a safety pin, and a piece of bacon... but that's what she did.
A special welcome to anyone who is new to The Grieving Room. We meet every Monday evening. Whether your loss is recent or many years ago, whether you have lost a person or a pet, or even if the person you are "mourning" is still alive ("pre-grief" can be a very lonely and confusing time) you can come to this diary and process your grieving in whatever way works for you. Share whatever you need to share. We can't solve each other's problems, but we can be a sounding board and a place of connection.
