I never know if I'm moving through when I write my grief. I am so in it when I'm called to write it. But somehow the act of writing is movement, and so even if microscopic, I must be progressing, somehow. That's what I tell myself today, anyway.
Thanks, Patti, for this perspective. It makes total sense -- movement creates energy, so even if the only movement you're doing during grief is writing, it's likely to create a shift.

I'm so glad this resonated with you.
