Well done Anna - just came across your substack and wow, you have put into words (and actions) exactly what I felt and did after my own dad's death. I lost my way but found a new purpose in the haze. Quit my job, relationship and moved out to the country for a quieter and slower pace to life having seen that 'tomorrow is not a given' firsthand. You write so well and thanks for sharing.
Thank you ❤️ it always gives me comfort to know there are more of us out there. I always imagine that if I came across another who had been though this same journey we’d just know from sight that we were part of this invisible troop, connected by this realisation that the world is different. Lovely to hear about your change of pace in life.
As soon as your name popped into my inbox I read right away as your writing captivates me. Congratulations for stepping into the unknown and for finding a new aliveness.
I’d like to share one of the quotes I sought comfort in when I first quit my job, perhaps it’ll be a comfort for you also:
“As you start to walk on the way, the way appears.” - Rumi

Good luck and keep writing (please.)
Thank you Natasha, this has made my year! What a wonderful quote from Rumi, definitely one I’ll be keeping close ❤️
