Literally watched Miss Marple quote the same Macbeth speech last night, Kyra. I am sorry you are going through such a loss. The paintings are brilliant, as is your writing.
I very much enjoyed reading about your connections with the other side and am looking forward to part two. My mom died last Halloween night and after a very strained relationship she comes through wanting good things for me but still can’t accept the fact that marriage will never be in the cards again! Dad got in touch recently by showing me a palm cross like the ones he made for me as a child and giving me a three word message. ( He talks in two or three word riddles.) I called for my aunt once and heard her say, “ Tell her the maid goes home at six.” Believe me ,I knew it was her, and she knows what a kick I got out of it.
Not quite Shakespeare but still special! And I believe it was an aunt I never met who died in her teens who told me one morning I had cancer. I went to my doctor and after insisting on a appt. to see her, found out that indeed I did, a fast moving group of cells that would have been in my blood system by the time of my next scheduled appt.
The grieving of a difficult relationship with someone you love can at times be harder than grieving a loving relationship. For me, anyway, it seems so. I prayed very hard for my mom to make it over there and not be a stuck spirit as I’ve been told can happen. I’m glad she made it to the other side.
What an article. I had goosebumps as I read about your experience in the hospital waiting room and the gentleman quoting Macbeth as your Pop-Pop did. Just yesterday, I took a rare selfie, and looked at the face staring back, surprised to see such an older face, gifted to me after the passings of both my parents and brother in a short time period over 2017 and 2018. The intense part of grief only recently replaced by a flickering inner light strengthened by closer family connections and witnessing my teen sons stand tall with wisdom and personal goals thru this difficult time. I very much liked your closing comments re renewal of cells and rebirth. I think of the Phoenix quite often.

Thank you for this forum.
