Alice, thank you for sharing this, I listened to your voice as i read aloud. Every time I read one of your newsletters and this one too….i can find a connection and resonate on my own personal journey. As for grief, i held on to it for a very long time when i lost my Mom and Dad back in 1990 & 1997. I was young and felt cheated by life , not having my parents here today to meet their grandchildren and see the woman i become. I hope i would have made them proud. After all these years, I have let go of that grief, but sometimes….it comes back in moments when i least expect it. Like when someone shares the happy times they are able to share with their parents, when your parents get to hold their grandchildren in their arms….i will never have that and it reminds me of that grief when i lost them.
Thank you Alice for sharing this with us, your transparency helps others heal and become a better version of themselves 🩷🩷🩷
Alice, I read , I reread and listened, I then just listened to your words as you read and reread this a few more times, “is Alice feeling those awful feelings that have haunted me since childhood too? “ The fear of loss of anything ,anyone that is so loved by me scares me to this day. I can still feel that little girl’s sorrow at losing her first pet. But the worst, the loss of my hero,my dad. The fear of loss and grief is always with me. Lying in my bed as a child and fearing the stages of life and knowing today I never grew out of those feelings makes me wish I could “deal” with them like the stronger people I admire . Thank you Alice for deciding to write this.💕
Oh my goodness, Alice! I cannot believe I am just hearing this now! I love the audio and this is so gorgeous and I’m honored to be quoted. You are such a beautiful writer
Thank you Susan. It took me weeks and weeks to put this together. Kept thinking whether I wanted to share, and how.
Kept editing, cutting out, adding in.
It feel so vulnerable but also so liberating to be able to do this.
Thank you for appreciating it.

Thank you for sharing and I am so very sorry about your parents.
Thank you for sharing honestly and opening up. It’s the only way to let go, and set ourselves free.
Sending you love, always
