The chill, then stupor, then the letting go

After a long hiatus, I received a tender Letters to a Parent submission this week. The title comes from an Emily Dickinson poem and the letter is addressed to grieving parents (and is helpful reading for anyone who wonders what to say and do when a friend has lost a child). Read it here. 

I'd like to get that project going again and will start actively inviting and posting again soon. Have you read a blog post on parenting (funny-sweet-sad or in between) that you really loved?  Would you like to hear from someone you know about their lessons + beliefs about parenting?  Drop me an email and I will track them down and invite.  (Actually my mind is swimming with ideas and new projects to expand the site...it must be the end of the semester!)

That is a very nice letter and well written. The author was able to put my thoughts down better than I could have ever done. Maybe I'm still in the stupor stage. No, not really. I have let go so the stupor must be from something else.
