Peace Is Not the Absence of Grief

A late-night reflection

Recorded late on May 11, 2026, the first anniversary of Don’s passing.

This reflection is about the peace I’ve discovered through getting to know and trust myself, and how that peace has helped me experience grief without losing my sense of possibility.

I share some thoughts about the 43 years Don and I walked through life together, the paths we’re now traveling separately, and what it means to continue participating in life’s adventure even when it unfolds differently than expected.

Because I’ve discovered that grief and peace can coexist. So can sadness and gratitude.

And perhaps the question worth pondering is this:

What’s keeping you awake at night?
