We Grieve For The Ones We Love

With the death of a loved one you start to tear yourself apart. Every shared memory takes on another life and you replay, in high speed nonlinear erratic processing mode, each episode seeking out new meaning and answers. My younger brother Joseph passed away suddenly last year and his absence still shakes me at the most unexpected moments. He followed a clear trajectory, yet, his death came with a brutal velocity. I always thought there would be more time. In the subsequent days and months navigating the torrid emotions of grief, Joseph was ever present in the words and music I wrote.
