December 12th is always an emotional day for me. It's my late wife Barbara's birthday, and the wells up and spills out.

Today was absolutely just such a day. And to top it off, my roommate went off on a rant about how my depth of feeling on that topic is wrong and unhealthy. Not her words. I cleaned it up.

I had a huge meltdown as a result. Now I'm exhausted, and in pain. I'm turning in for tonight. I hope.

Any ideas? I’m looking for articles, maybe even research, on the impact on grief when family members or friends die overseas & you can’t really help from Australia (or wherever you live). For instance, war zones, natural disasters, human-made disasters & the like. I can’t find anything. 🤞#grief #bereavement #mourning

@doctormfo @CindyWeinstein @appassionato @bookstodon Thank you! I’m a layman so I’ll need to familiarise myself with persistent complex bereavement disorder. I suppose that some of the people who mourn losses in other countries ARE refugees / immigrants, not something that I had thought about. 🙏🏻

How to Grieve

In 45 BCE, the Roman statesman Cicero fell to pieces when his beloved daughter, Tullia, died from complications of childbirth. But from the depths of despair, Cicero fought his way back. Drawing on Greek philosophy and Roman history, Cicero convinced himself that death and loss are part of life, and that if others have survived them, we can, too; resilience, endurance, and fortitude are the way forward.

If you are looking for a very sweet MG read, you should check Calvin and the Sugar Apples. Focusing on eleven-year-old Amelia and the loss of her best friend Calvin, a twenty-one-year-old chinchilla, this novel is beautifully written and illustrated.

Emotional,beautiful and poetic story about a song that transcended decades. Written by a wife’s late husband, the song is later shared by a musician. It is a sad, but hopeful story about love, loss, and how memories and creations continue to live, even after the loved one is gone.

'We want other people to have a centre, a history, an account that makes sense.'

60/52 ★★★★☆

A very impressive elegy printed as a leporello.
It made me realize a thing or two about mourning and about translating (and how those are more interrelated than I had previously thought). Here's how:
