Heart To AshleyLayne

Dear Ashley Layne,

Hi. Hugs to you this morning.

I think men have a harder time acknowledging their grief than women do. I don't mean that to sound chauvanistic towards men. It's just that after watching all my brothers and my husband and the way they handle grief? Well, it's like men try to solve grief, father than feel it, if that makes sense. I think that's their way of handling many things in life. Instead of internalizing it through the heart, they do it through the brain and say, "I will look at this and master it!"

Just an observation of my own.

No it is not wrong. It is sorrow; extreme grief. This is the loss of a child. There's nothing wrong with your grieving. Oh AhsleyLane! Do you know how much I wish I would've had what it takes to do what you're doing now? Instead of shoving my grief into a closet like a dirty skeleton and leaving it there for 30 years? Honestly, the lies I told myself in order to keep my heart locked away!

Keep grieving, keep writing, keep keeping on! We will be here!

May the Buddha light your path as you travel,

Janey
