Reflection Time
A thoughtful meditation on abortion and grief, waiting and time
At the start of the Covid-19 pandemic, just as the world went into lockdown, Meredith Greer realized she was pregnant but couldn’t keep the baby. The experience of waiting for, undergoing, and recovering from an abortion was isolated and isolating, encapsulated as it was in a larger, collective act of waiting.
Meredith Greer writes about her pain, her anxieties, her doubts and her grief without becoming heavy-handed, or lapsing into navelgazing. Her writing is erudite without being pedantic, the cultural references stem mainly from her own curiosity, and she’s all too happy to take the reader along on her journey.
