A Step Back to Step Forward
As we must in life, sometimes our blogs need to pivot. I hadn’t posted anything here since 2019, and given the years that followed, it’s no wonder why. We entered a global pandemic. My mom got sick. My mom got better. My mom got a new kind of sick and died. Everything about my life is different now. So naturally, this blog will be different too.
I’m grieving, and I will be for the rest of my life. I’m not an expert in anyone’s grief but my own, and still, I’m pretty sure I get it wrong a lot of the time. But trying to figure out how to move forward–not on–is something I’m still struggling to figure out. I figured I might not be the only one who has experienced this.
So pre-pandemic Erin has moved into the archives. Not gone for good, but no longer relevant to this little corner of the Internet. Instead, I’ll be sharing my thoughts on grief, growing, and giving back as I continue to navigate the choppy waters ahead. Hopefully, you’ll stick around and share some of your words of wisdom along the way.
