Sadness

Today my work feels deeply and profoundly sad.

Loss does not heal. We survive and grow, but loss is around every corner; it is the passage of time.

This sadness overwhelms my clients sometimes, leaving them completely lost, buried beneath. I feel the weight of this keenly and have been left with a huge weight of sadness. Weirdly though I do not mind it, I have allowed it some space. Being moved and being human is my work, and I feel so grateful for that. I am vulnerable, but that's where my strength lies. Today I don't feel the need to protect myself from another's pain but know I am resilient enough to bear it. My clients are too.
