Yes I agree. I’ve had a lot of losses over the last few years and grief is very difficult. But I’m lucky to have so much evidence of loving people. I always make a point to say I love you when I hang up the phone with people I care about as I have learned that is so important! It’s all fun and games until I accidentally say love you to the pizza delivery guy…

Beautiful. Very healing. A grief counselor told me that people are “allowed” to express sorrow and anger over lost luggage but not about the loss of a loved one (human or otherwise). Look at our response after 911. Soldier on, USA! Back to work and school. No time to mourn…

Thank you for sharing this today I needed it❤️ I lost my own mother suddenly 15 years ago, my mother in law 5 years ago and now my father in law 3 months ago. Being 39 years old and a mother myself, I know the anger I have from what is a complete lack of support in our American culture and denial of this experience entirely is part of my path to growth and healing. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (and WandaVision!) are favorites of mine too ❤️
