@E_Carlen Sending you warmth from CA

@E_Carlen My sweet biologist husband has gone almost a year now but I’m still finding unknown specimens in the freezer. It used to gross me out - now I love it - wish he were still here to put plastic bags of roadkill, lizard toes and unidentified organisms in our freezer. I cherish it all

This is the year of “Would-be” Happy “would-be” 61st Birthday Dear Barry💕😘❤️🌸💕

[JaVo @JavoVelo]

@KZ_UTAustin Thank you, Kelly❤️

I had to remove jewelry for a routine medical appointment; now at home looking at my wedding ring that I’ve worn for over 32 years (including since B died 7 months ago). I’m staring at it trying to decide whether to put it back on, or if it’s now time to stop wearing it💔

[JaVo @JavoVelo]

One of the ways in which grief is so hard is that so much mental energy goes into thinking about questions like that (last post)💔

[JaVo @JavoVelo]

I feel clobbered by grief lately, like I’m going backward in the grief process - and I know intellectually that grief is not linear. I just learned there’s a name for this: Six Month Syndrome. I’m so there😢

@ConnectionsHope Friendships change and it’s okay to let go of some of them as others begin to feel more meaningful for where you’re at.

I miss this man everyday. Coming up on my would-be 32nd wedding anniversary ❤️❤️❤️

[JaVo @JavoVelo]

To whoever taped this on Barry’s office door: Thank you! It brought me comfort as I passed through the empty halls of Coastal Bio building yesterday 🦎💗🦎💗🦎💗

Grief doesn’t get easier, just heavier as the loss sinks in. He’s gone but not forgotten. This song says it well for me this Sunday morning: Hey Hey My My, Neil Young, live, acoustic, stereo https://t.co/trfyCfPvFj via @YouTube

We lost someone great when B left. I feel so sad for all of us. https://t.co/AMwD2i4hRy
