The Mourners. Trees standing over a fallen tree.
The end of the year is close.
No resolutions coming
No bucket list
No metrics to track
Just going to live every day like it is a gift

✨ 🎄When the holidays roll in, we decorate with memories, love, and a hint of someone who’s no longer here. Sometimes joy is the color, and grief is the shadow that makes the light brighter❄️ #HolidayGrief #MissingYouThisSeason #GriefAndJoy #MikeyTheDeathDoula #HolidayMemories

Feeling everything all at once—grief, rage, absurd joy. A Brief for the Defense by Jack Gilbert reminds us: sorrow is real, but joy is sacred too. Take it, and when you do, take it into your bosom.

“The deeper that sorrow carves into your being, the more joy you can contain.”— Kahlil Gibran
This week, I explore the tender places where light and loss meet, and why feeling both isn’t a contradiction—it’s a sign you’re alive.

Close-up portrait of Douglas Coupland with a serious expression, illuminated by a rainbow-colored light gradient across his face. He has a white beard, slicked-back hair, and wears a white collared shirt. The background features a pixelated black-and-white checkerboard pattern.
“There are three things we cry for in life: things that are lost, things that are found, and things that are magnificent.”
― Douglas Coupland

Eight years old. Full tilt, full heart.
He’s not just comic relief in Holding On—he’s the emotional barometer. The kid who feels what others won’t say.

These poems speak in the language of inherited wounds and winged resistance. Memory, womanhood, and flight—threaded through grief. A quiet anthem for those who carry too much. #TBR #poetry #feminism #intergenerationalhealing #griefandjoy thebrusselsreview.com/nisha/scars-...
