Nobody warns you that grief and loneliness are two different animals that hunt together. Grief takes the person. Loneliness takes every small moment you used to share with them and leaves you standing in the kitchen holding two coffee cups out of habit, morning after morning, until you teach yourself to reach for one. - Silicon Canals

Grief and loneliness are distinct experiences that affect individuals differently, with grief being a communal event and loneliness a persistent absence.

Unlocking Contentment in Everyday Life

There is a particular form of blindness that afflicts the fortunate-a blindness to the quiet miracles of ordinary existence. We walk through our days surrounded by what a patient once called "unexperienced happiness," moving through gifts we no longer recognize as gifts, breathing blessings we've forgotten are blessings. It often takes a brush with loss to restore our sight. This is a meditation that can perhaps grant us more mindfulness than hundreds of seminars. It's about the obvious that we sometimes simply no longer see.

Forbearance

A little rice? A little soup? I'd rather die reading the early texts you sent about my breasts.

Such is our lot, our shared disease or gift. Like Bernini's angels propped somewhere in Rome

The 7 Core Vulnerabilities in Adoption

These issues are not pathologies. They are predictable, universal core vulnerabilities shaped by the inherent complexities of adoption.
