Your letter each week always brings nourishment into my life. I love your writing style. I love your honesty. I love your vulnerability. And this "Grief is the medicine. I will be partnering with grief for the rest of my life, tending to it and nurturing it and being a humble steward for it to be felt, witnessed, held, released. Grief is the medicine." , I love it so much and it rings very true to me.

Ahhh! Playing with our grandkids and getting lost in their imagination is the best AND being scared to death that their future is so uncertain. What a time of ANDS.

Your writing always lifts me up and makes me feel less alone.

This is a lovely video and beautiful song about this very theme of living a wholehearted life that is present to all the beauty and horror, joy and grief, fear and courage that a life is made of. It gives me great joy and inspiration and I hope the same for you. Pay attention to the dedication at the end, it’s very powerful. Thank you Florence and the Machine🙏🏼🥰 https://youtu.be/ui8kUKuLBaU?si=Gl_-eFz5S4Zf1yop

This lands perfectly on time for my grieving heart - and the reminder that it is the medicine (rather than the obstacle) ♥️
