Today I find grief in my shortened breath, the tightness in my chest, the anger in my stomach, the unexplained parts of it all, and the “thought battle” of what I could have - no, should have - done differently. I struggle to pause my mind, find a smile, and remain positive while staving off my anguish. It is a process that I know will never end. This deep grief will always be with me, a part of me.
