"how i dealt with the grief of losing my father" on sbs voices

For Father's Day in Australia and New Zealand, I wrote a short essay about how I forced myself to write through my grief after my poet-father passed away, and how writing helped me maintain a relationship with him despite his physical absence. I did not expect to receive as many touching responses to this piece as I did, and I'm glad that it resonated with many. You can read the full essay here. 

"By continuing to write through my grief, I was honouring that part of myself that was deeply connected to him."
