You Can’t Rob Grief

Jamie Marchant Posted on July 13, 2022 by Jamie MarchantJuly 13, 2022

You can’t rob grief. I don’t mean you shouldn’t, but that it is impossible to do so. One way or another grief will have its due. My father’s death when I was 21 taught me this. My mother’s death confirmed … Continue reading →

Land mines

Jamie Marchant Posted on July 7, 2022 by Jamie MarchantJuly 7, 2022

Unbelieving Grief

Jamie Marchant Posted on July 6, 2022 by Jamie MarchantJuly 6, 2022

I have been no stranger to grief. My father died without warning when I was 21. My mother’s death 12 years later was equally a shock. Even as I write this, my brother is dying of cancer. He is 57. … Continue reading →

Unsettling Honesty

Jamie Marchant Posted on June 5, 2022 by Jamie MarchantJuly 6, 2022

Unsettled. Yesterday, my husband kept asking me how I was. I replied, “I don’t know.” I didn’t feel good, but I wasn’t really feeling bad either. Finally, I found the word to describe my emotions. Unsettled. Growing up Mormon, especially … Continue reading →

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints

Jamie Marchant Posted on June 3, 2022 by Jamie MarchantJuly 6, 2022

Yes, that is the official name of the Mormon church. Somebody on Twitter said he thought I should mention it in my blog, and he’s probably right, but in my first two posts, I resisted doing so. Yes, the term … Continue reading →

Mormons are Nice

Jamie Marchant Posted on June 1, 2022 by Jamie MarchantJuly 6, 2022

I am the Tortured Soul

Jamie Marchant Posted on May 30, 2022 by Jamie MarchantJuly 6, 2022

Who am I? My twitter bio claims that I am a “Writer of Fantasy . . . and the tortured soul.” While this is accurate, it is, like every face I’ve ever shown the world, incomplete, revealing only a portion … Continue reading →
