All sorrows can be borne if
they are put into a story, Isak Dinesen said. She’s right. Writing
unties grief’s knots. Writing unhooks death’s claws from our flesh.
We write grief out of our
system by recording all of our thoughts, feelings, memories, heartaches, and
sorrows, writing until we can’t think of anything else to say. When
something more shows up, we write that down, too.
