My grandmother died over the weekend. It still feels very ureal. I'm not particularly upset, just feeling a bit disjointed and out of sync with normal time somehow. But basically okay.

I did write a ficlet today, about a last meeting between Rory Brandybuck and old Bilbo at the long-expected party. You know, growing old vs. not, saying goodbye vs. not, all that kind of thing. I can't quite decide if it's just therapy by another name or if it's something I want to turn into a properly edited and published story. There's no rush on that. Mostly it feels good to have written again. I do wish I still was able to do that under normal circumstances.

That's the news from around here. I hope you all have a good week.

Mostly it feels good to have written again.

Wonderful.

Thank you. I'm at least on the okay side of not-okay and appreciate the sympathy.

My condolences. It's so hard to lose a grandparent. *hugs*

[marta_bee]

Thanks. It is, but she did have a long and full life. So it's sad of course but mostly feels like time.

May her memory be a blessing. *hugs*

I've always liked that way of framing loss. Thank you.

I'm okay, or at least on the okay side of not-okay, truly. She had a good life, and it was a good ending.

My condolences.
And yes, I understand the feeling of writing therapy...

[marta_bee]

It's lovely to have that as an option. It really did help to get some of those thoughts on paper (or the digital equivalent).

*hugs you gently* And I'm so glad you're writing again, too.

*hugs more*

I won't claim the writing's a regular thing. But it felt good to write again just now, so maybe I'll do it again soon under better circumstances.

*hugs you back* Thanks for the sympathy.
