a note to the reader -
I have learned that words weave us together. For that reason I’m offering mine to you, humbled and grateful for this opportunity to connect more deeply. As I began to grieve my Mother and then my Daughter, reading the raw and brutally beautiful words of others deep in grief brought me immense comfort. I felt like the poems I read transformed from simple ink and paper to loving arms that held me in their embrace when I needed it most. Our honest life experience, when shared with others, has the opportunity to become a blessing of true and powerful wisdom.
Not only does this book include the jagged fragments of my deepest grief expressed on paper, but it also includes Grace, Joy, and Love: the ever-evolving pathway of healing. In the darkest times, I lit candles for myself, until one day, the sunshine peaked through again, and I no longer needed to squint to see the light bursting forth all around me. This book contains grief alongside awe, adoration, and a potent celebration of life. My hope is that reading these words reminds you, too, that all is possible when Love is involved. Grief and Love are bedmates, and their teachings are immense.
There is so much grace woven into each and every moment we experience. For the immense grace that brought you here, reading these words, I am grateful. May these poems land in the corner of your heart that calls to them.
With Love and Gratitude,
Rohini
