About becoming a widow

26.11.22

I've discovered, since becoming a widow (15.8.22),

that what you want to do do

is tell your sorrow.

You don't want people's explanations or consolations,

although you know they're well-meant.

I'm filled with regret

having done the same thing many times myself.

Please may I tell you my sorrows

and learn to listen to the sorrow of others.
