I miss COVID. Don’t cancel me for saying that. When the world shut down in March of 2020, just 6 months had passed since Hank had died. It was scary and frustrating and stressful, of course, but for me, it was also oddly satisfying to watch the rest of the world come to a chaotic halt just had mine had mere months before. I miss the camaraderie of communal suffering. That probably sounds pretty awful. Hank’s birthday is on Sunday and the world is going to go on as usual. But mine isn’t. Mine will be another birthday party without a birthday boy. It will be reaching for something I can’t grab on this side of heaven. It will be another cake he won’t eat. More cards he won’t read. It will be beautiful. And it will be terrible. And I sort of miss when everything was shut down and there were no events to be preparing for and my little bubble of community had nothing better to do than anticipate Hank’s birthday with me. That’s all. #bestofweaving #circularweaving #captureyourgrief #grief #griefsucks #writingyourgrief #itsokaythatyourenotokay #normalizegrief #childloss #weaving #weaversofinstagram #wovendecor #art #artist #asheville #ashevilleartist #ashevillecraft #ashevilleart #ashevillelocal #makersgonnamake #makersmovement #weavingasheville #doitfortheprocess #pursueprettythings #createeveryday #mamagrief #griefisajourney
