Good Mourning

Mourning GriefEach instance is nuanced complex-Its own universe of pain and sometimes occasionallyalso of a strange beautyA catharsis almost. While I can't speak to the utter despondency that I'd imagine comes with the mourning of the loss of a loved one- nor would I ever think to trivialize that experience by pretending to grasp it fully I can speak to a different kind of loss.Good Mourning is about another kind of loss another kind of grief another kind of healing. This book is a collection of prosey shit- as I like to call it- that more fell out of me than came to me. These bits that leaked out of me over the last few years in the process of recovery of mourning the loss of someone who was never actually there never actually real -at all.More importantly it was my way of processing of mourningThe loss of whatever shreds of my own innocence had escaped unscathed by the decades before only to be slowly executed at the hands of an abusive sociopathic asshole...Who I was madly in love with for a decade though physically with closer to half of one. Good MourningBecause the mourning accompanied realizations freedom-Pain yesbut freedom.And freedom in my experience and opinion at leastIs worth just about anything endured to gain it.Good Mourning is for anyone who's experienced the kind of tears that purge your soul of the toxic...That cut you and free you in a bittersweet melody of release...Well for those folks and also anyone else who cares to read this little book. Good Mourning was also the chosen title because in the beginnings when I first went back to the aforementioned sociopath I'd roll over and he'd say good morning beautiful and hand me a coffee.*spoiler alert it wasn't all that dandy and lovely thus the book of prosey shit and extensive therapy *I make my own coffee now days but my days are beautiful none-the-less and the mourning?It has been- oddly-Good.
