A photograph of an open ocean with a crashing wave from bird's eye view as the background. Good Grief Network's logo in the top right. White text with blue highlight reads, "OPEN OCEAN" poem by BROOKE MCNAMARA I know less than ever. Today, I know less than any other day so far. I do know there is a hurricane brewing in my belly. I do know it is no longer possible to keep this heart together, that trying to hold it together as a solid thing is starting to poison. Although it has broken countless times before, from the inside and the outside, today there is an immanent explosion of a new order. Breathing in, contraction pulls it all to a center. Exhaling, every cell wails and an open ocean of uncivilized, utterly forgiving waters floods from an unknowable source. My heart is nothing but everything now; lost as sea. Whose tears have I drowned in? Whose tears are these oceanic, amniotic fluid I’ve become?" With "16 October 2025, 1-3pm Eastern Time, FREE" written at the bottom
