I often feel like I have a life of mourning ahead of me–I’m making the best of it, growing how I should, and giving myself grace when I know I need to. Grief is a hard subject to tackle, but I am glad to see it as a prompt theme. Some things need discussion and it is helpful to express them creatively.
How about you? Do you want to give it a shot? What can you dream up about grief? What are your six words?

I found your SWS really reliable. I feel that I have a life of mourning ahead of me too. It’s important to give ourselves grace when needed and do what we have to in order to process our grief.
My SWS: Grief for the dead and living.
