Hello?
Dear sister,Please look at me, I have something to say. I know that you’re hurting – don’t push me away. Fighting for control by refusing connection; Your deafening silence gifts me space for reflection. Soul-mated siblings – I feel your hurt too. Pain silences me, and infuriates you. Pushing and pulling each other apart, will…

Lullaby of Unsafety
Unsafe. Feel the ground shifting. Unsafe, attacked from all sides. Unsafe, heartbeat pounding, primal trigger, fight or flight to survive. Unsafe. Angry bomb ticking. Unsafe, primal alert. Unsafe, ears are ringing, body-bound senses hyper-vigilance. Unsafe. Pendulum swinging. Unsafe, unknown terrain. Unsafe, words are fleeing, protectively silenced, frozen in shame. Unsafe but defences are holding. Faint…

At a loss
It’s a terrible feeling to lose a sibling, as if part of my being has ceased existing. A bittersweet agony I wouldn’t recommend, piercing far deeper than losing a friend. A part of my heart feels lost without them, refusing to believe I’ll never see them again. Yearning for just one more conversation, to ease…

Grief
Feeling cast adrift, forever lost at sea; Pounded by waves, a deluge of “if onlys”.

Dear Sister
I’m listening … please speak to me. I wish you’d been frank, spoken openly. I saw pain on your face, you were clearly angry. Holding all of this must have been torture. Is there anything more I could have done for you? I shared your pain, it’s my truth too. I can’t change the past,…
