I love the tetherball analogy. So much helpful and tender info in this post!

Beautiful, heartbreaking, and helpful. I was two-thirds into it when I realized that I was reading it as if it had nothing to do with me, as if I had no grief to shake hands with. While in fact I do. And reading this helped.

Thank you Vida. I love this phrase: "As if I had no grief to shake hands with."
