Loss and Gain, Sorrow and Joy; the Paradox of Life

Dear EVAW Listeners,

I am surfacing, in tiny steps, from the loss of my beloved mother last week. In so doing, and already hyper-empathetic since birth, I find myself all the more moved by and compassionate about the stories I am reading as an EVAW Listener.

Since you are one of my communities, I am sending you extra love at an emotionally vulnerable time globally.
