And other cynical, profanity-laced yet heartfelt responses to the death of my baby

Be Ok
A little dedication to all of y'all. You know, those who don't want to be ecstatic or joyous or over-the-moon -- those who just want to, well, be OK. Just ok.
Stunning! Absoutly gorgeous song and image. I LOVE how she sits immobile as the world, people keep going all around her. That's exactly how grief feels.
This is how I felt on Tuesday, before, during and after breaking down. Feeling all those hands supporting me. That I wasn't alone, even though I felt like I was for a little while.
My brother is always preaching the good word of Ingrid, but I've never bothered to listen. Thank you for forcing me to (well, not forcing exactly). It's a lovely song, and the lyrics are wonderful. I've had a lot of days like that lately, days in which I'm not even aiming for outright happiness, but just to be ok.

ReplyDeleteMaybe it's the mood I'm in, but it made me tear up. Some days, even to just be ok, is so darn bloody hard...
