Last week, Marvin and I stood outside the local crematorium waiting for the service to start. Due to COVID, only the two of us could attend. How do you journey through grief when people are self isolating & socially distancing, cut off from your usual network of support?

Being a single parent, working two jobs and just generally being on the go for most of the time, I don’t always have time to sit down and read like I used to.
