Having lost every member of my immediate family in the past six years - father, mother, uncle, brother and now and ongoing the last in my small family my sister to dementia at five thousand miles remove, I find my only other literary energy these days is put to ‘memoir poetry’… if I don’t recall and write about my family past, who can…
Some days Zoom sessions are a step too far. My email writing group a challenge some weeks. And contributing much here is beyond me right now.

Wishing you strength with the 'memoir poetry'--that should be your priority now, yes.
Rejoin us whenever you are ready! Don't think we don't miss your posts! But you need whatever Time you need. Loss takes so much.
I do love your paintings and artwork that you post. That too is good and healing.
Peace--
Alison
