I have been reading some poetry from Queens University Belfast and one of the poems talked about women entering and ushering out life and who better suited for it. I still question the ushering out, because surely women die before men - maybe it refers to women holding onto the grief and memory - but surely men do this to? What are you thoughts? Any enlightenment would be good.Kirralee Fisherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08748579248614500549noreply@blogger.com
