So here we are on the first anniversary without you..

This month marks one year without my brother, Griffin. There is not one day that has gone by that I haven’t been left wondering what would life be like now if nothing changed last year. I’m struggling for words and yet I have a million locked inside of me. For now, I’d like to leave this poem that sums up a lot of my feelings.





Olivia Harrell lives in Baldwin, Maryland, with her husband, two young children, and a Bulldog named Lola. She lost her brother, Griffin, to an accidental overdose from Fentanyl on September 25, 2023. Her monthly blog examines the twists and turns of grief and healing. Olivia loves to spend time with her family, make sourdough from scratch, and exercise. She is also incredibly thankful for the community of LITT and invites others with a similar loss to participate in LITT’s Sibling Support Group. For more information click here.

I was trying to learn Sangya in Hindi from the beginning, and this gave me a quick overview without too much information at once.

The information about Vyakaran in Hindi was helpful for refreshing my understanding of basic grammar concepts.

The line about having a million words locked inside really resonated with me—grief is so hard to put into language. Thank you for sharing this poem and for being so honest about your brother, Griffin. By the way, I keep a free short haircut style gallery I like to share: https://shorthaircuts.net/

A friend recommended eggy car, and it turned out to be a relaxing game for short breaks. The controls are simple, but improving your distance takes practice.
