Rough Autumn

Rough Autumn winds and uncalled rain,Inflicted upon them an unexpected pain,A young leaf, detached from her mother,A bond short-lived, unfortunately severed. · · ─────── ·𖥸· ─────── · · The storm left behind a rainy puddle,Swirling ill fate in an unforeseen muddle,Floating atop, to wildly bob and juggle,At her mother’s roots for a final cuddle. · · ─────── ·𖥸· ─────── · · That night, clouds…

To Mom and the Dad I never knew

Days like today/yesterday always make me think of the Dad I never had and wish I knew — the one friends and relatives would say was the life of the party, was charismatic and creative, a true San Francisco native who served as the fire department’s paramedic, and loved taking photographs and art and collecting books and vinyl records still lining up my childhood home to this day. Family always…

Beyond the Break

As published in INKBabies Literary Magazine. It was September, the twilight of summer, and the wind was chill as it glanced across the Atlantic. Sporadic gusts roused the sand in weakened dust devils only to deposit it, scattered and displaced along the empty beach. She studied the waves from her place on the sand. Not really watched…a mere passive observation, her eyes fixed on the retreating…

Dragging Myself Back Out of the Depths of Depression

(written 2 years ago) It’s been six long, painful years since my son died. That episode started the cracks in our family. The splintering grew more evident but I wasn’t there mentally to patch them before the cracks widened into large gaps. Usually I have been the one to keep the family going and to be there for their needs. This time I didn’t see the cracks threatening to break wide open. I had…

Nihilism is almost never a good idea - an off-the-cuff joint.

A goal without a plan is a wish, and I wish too often. #grief #recovery #eatingdisorderrecovery

I have no plan. I don’t think much about the future. Not about next week, or next month, or next year. I used to, many, many years ago. When I was a child and wanted to be an aerospace engineer. Or a biochemist. Or a surgeon. Back when I had plans for the future. But an eating disorder, though it taunts you with ideas of a perfect future where you’re happy, and life is good, keeps you centred in…

Margo Berdeshevsky: God Bless the Child That's Got His Own

My friends are losing mothers and fathers My world is losing air Today my father died, he says to me My friend who climbs from the sea I say that every day, he says — Today my father died, But he keeps living and hanging And I am remembering all the things I never wanted to hold He says — you will let go he will let go the branch when he is Ready I nod, yes, he says, climbing the hill from the…

A Mother’s Dying Breath - A Short Story by Gianni Franco

Hope you enjoy this short story. Let me know what you think. More to follow in the coming weeks.

Early morning on September 9 in Rochester, New York. The leaves on the trees had surrendered their jovial green to autumn’s overbearing orange. The sliding glass overlooking the patio and lush lawn remained closed due to the cold, bustling wind. The living room, with white walls and a matching tile floor, had always resembled a hospital room, and within the last thirty days it couldn’t be more…

Happy Mother’s Day to mothers of all kinds. I will be holding space for all of us whose mothers are no longer here. On a related note, congratulations to Katie Engelhart, contributing writer for The New York Times Magazine, who won a Pulitzer Prize for Feature Writing for The Mother Who Changed: A Story of Dementia. With compassion and clarity, she shared this family’s complex and fraught…

For All Who Think They Lost Their Mom ~ Happy Mother’s Day!

“The day my mother died I wrote in my journal, ‘A serious misfortune of my life has arrived.’ I suffered for more than one year after the passing away of my mother. But one night, in the highlands of Vietnam, I was sleeping in the hut in my hermitage. I dreamed of my mother. I saw myself sitting with her, and we were having a wonderful talk. She looked young and beautiful, her hair flowing down.…

Mother's Day and the Many Many Questions of My Child!

In the UK it has been Mothers Day last weekend. On Sunday. I’m not really fussed on the day. Sometimes these days come with higher expectations and if you increase your expectations then ultimately you end up being disappointed when the kids don’t behave or don’t bring you breakfast in bed. And so I am happy for this day to be a “normal” day and to get a card and that is that. And that was what…

Writing Tools: Disaster Love Stories & How to Write Them (the mini version) By Susan Hanniford Crowley

Happy Mother's day...

I think mother’s day is one of the most celebrated occasions in the US. I love it, but that is because it favors me. You will find different camps on this – rightfully so. While this is amazing and a joy to see, this can also be the saddest time for those who have struggled with infertility, unavailable and abusive mothers, grief from mother’s deaths, poor relationships with their mothers, and…
