I know I'll always carry the love of those I've lost inside my heart, in a little room that I hold dear. The grief still, after many years, comes unbidden as part of a random thought but I'd never give up those memories just to ease the pain of loss. A beautiful story filled with love.

Thank you, dear friend. The room gets a little fuller as time goes on. Good thing our hearts have room to grow the room.

Sometimes things aren't as clear to readers as they are to the writer. Just because something makes sense to me doesn't mean it will to you. One of the vagaries of writing.

I love it! I don't understand the 365 days. Looking forward to anything you want to get away with 😁

Thanks, Connie Nina had told her she was allowed to grieve for 1 year and not to return to her grave after that. To get on with her life.

I feel Yesterday's Ghosts and today's Grief stories go together as two of the three triptych. Both dealing with the loss of a loved one too soon and their way of moving through the grief. Also the underlying theme of same gender love. I look forward to your stories.

I can see that. It's totally coincidence, though. I wrote "Yesterday's Ghosts" nearly three years ago and teed it up a month ago. I wrote "Triptych" on Saturday, not even remembering what I had teed up to publish.

I've never done this before, but this prompt seemed ideal for it! I'm so glad you like this approach.
