Journal entry by Joanne Negstad — Aug 5, 2018
Grief has so many dimensions I'd never considered. Recently a new concept was introduced to me, beyond anything I'd imagined. A mutual friend of ours, Joanne and me, is grieving the loss of participating in our relationship. Enjoying the exchanges, the conversation, the banter, the give and take in which Joanne I engaged is not longer available to another who witnessed and participated in it. This is a loss I'd never considered.
It is sweet that another would consider witnessing that interplay as a gift. I am honored by this. Death certainly precipitates a multitude of grief experiences, many of which I'd never imagined.
All the while, learning or not, there is the presence of absence.
Blessings,
Al
