Emily, you shine, brilliantly.
Charles' idea of playing/learning struck a chord with me. I am wrestling with marriage breakdown after 16 years, and whilst my contribution is genuinely humble, I have found such solace in both playing music, and sharing my sadness with other moths drawn to the same flame.
I ain't overly gone on secular religion, but I pray for you, your friend, and gargoyle that devils be driven out, and the comfort of peace be visited on you.
With love
