No guest on this episode I'm afraid - just me reciting a poem on grief.

A couple of weeks ago I asked my network on LinkedIn to share what it was they grieved most as a result of COVID19.  My intention was to take their answers and combine them into a single verse that would capture the feelings in this moment.

This is that verse - the next episode will be me discussing the poem with grief expert Sarah Hines, a previous guest on the show.  We will continue our earlier conversation focussing on the kinds of grief expressed in the poem.

Thanks to all those who shared their thoughts and contributed to the first ever crowdsourced poem on LinkedIn.  As I note at the end, I plan to follow this up with another crowdsourced poem, this one on our hopes and vision for a post-Covid future
