A fog of sorrow that I can't quite escape | Brief letters

I lost my partner and soulmate of 50 years as a result of Alzheimer's last August.Kat Lister is correct: grief does move, but I find it more like a fog (Anyone who's lost a loved one knows the pressure to visit shrines to the past.But it doesn't always help, 7 June).Sometimes it's thick and impenetrable, other times it's thin and swirling.
