Echoes of Laughter in the Halls of Grief
Grieving Gone Wild About a year ago, my father died. Six months earlier, my children’s father – my ex-husband – passed away. Fifteen months before him, I lost my mother. Amidst these profound losses, I also grieved for the passing of my four beloved Brittanys and four cherished chickens, each of them an integral part of my life, each departure adding another layer to my sorrow. Nine years ago, the pattern of loss began when I witnessed a young woman's death right before my eyes. Death, it seems, has been a constant.

The Attempt
This content has undergone editing and critique with the assistance of artificial intelligence (AI) tools. Throughout my entire life, I held the belief that my parents were extraordinary. I proudly shared with teachers, friends, and co-workers how supportive and caring they were, emphasizing their heroic qualities and the goodness derived from their life's work. My unwavering confidence in portraying them as heroes might have been genuine, or perhaps it was a narrative shaped by my limited understanding and perspective. In my small world and through the narrow lens with which I viewed life, they appeared to be heroes. However, my lack of love and limited experience left me without a true understanding of what constitutes a good person or a good parent.

A Small Town Bass Player
A man with crazy hair and glasses sits in the front row at church, nearest to the hastily constructed stage. Across his lap rests an off-white bass guitar with tattered stickers stuck to its body. His Bible rests against the red velvet fabric of the pew, directly to his right. He doesn't notice me as I watch him, because he is too focused on the tune that he plays. His left hand glides across the fret board. With the fingers of his right hand he plucks at the strings; clearly, this bass player doesn't use a pick.
