Unexpected Absence

Hi all,

I’ve been absent from blogging for a couple of months (both posting and interacting with others). Just thought I’d say why.

In late January, my father was diagnosed with a rare and incurable brain illness. In the space of three weeks he went from diagnosis to having passed away in hospital. I pretty much lost all interest in anything that usually brought me any kind of joy and stopped doing almost everything other than laying in bed listening to podcasts and being miserable.

The diagnosis, the passing, and the funeral felt like three individual deaths and, due to the time frame between each, I think that’s why I have struggled to get any enthusiasm for my hobbies.

I’ve recently started getting back into books (physical and audio), so am hoping to be back on a little bit more regularly.

Hope you’ve all been well,

Aaron
