Conversation with Grief

📖 The Scoop

What do you want from me, I asked.
Everything you're not prepared to offer, grief said.
And so, we sat quietly,
listening to the noise of our rabbit hearts,
and gave our stories to each other.

In "conversation with grief", Tetyana sees a scale of life where grief and loss exist everywhere: within joy and pain, within beauty and tragedy.
