Re: So you want to build a tunnel
#2When my wife was diagnosed with cancer and eventually went into remission, I didn’t really process what was happening at first. I was completely focused on getting her through it. The grief hit me later.
What helped me more than anything was going out into the garden and digging. I made sure to do it safely, since I know it can be risky, so I dug wide and with wooden supports, but there was something about just digging and digging down that let me work through all the darkness that had built up in my head. It gave those feelings somewhere to go.
This is unrelated, but I wonder if I did actually hit on something primal in myself.

Grady's videos are quite impressive to watch.

There are people like myself who prefer to read at our own pace, even skim the article and look at pictures. Video sucks.

Okay but that's not what this is. It's a YouTube channel. A very well known one in fact.
