A year, wow. I know this, as well as I know you. You have come so far and grown so much in the last 365 days. I admired you before and more so now. You are teaching us all lessons in life and love and grief and hope and moving on.

I am grateful for knowing you.

Time is not linear and does not exist on its own. Time is the twin of space, which to me is why you can feel it. You know when it is passing too quickly or too slow, sometimes its weight presses down on you to the point of suffocation, sometimes it is swifter than the blink of an eye. It is elastic and organic, it bends and twists and sneaks up behind you to catch you unawares.

The path of grief is a Mobius strip-you will end up where you started, with loving Bryan. Just give it time.

Jeri, let me just say that your reaction to Bryan’s death has made me love and admire you even more than I did before. You are a woman full of grace, and your strength and determination to live your life on your terms, in spite of ugly chance, have made you an incredible human being in my book.

To be sure, these events help to define us as people. But you’ve taken this event as an opportunity to define yourself.

Love forever.

Jeri,
Thank you so much for sharing. I could feel the displacement in time and the depth of your grief. My best wishes and love for you and your family.

The meshing hurts, somehow. It’s like finally saying goodbye. I’ve never been very good at it, Jeri. I wish you better luck with your attempts. (((Jeri)))
