Deep thoughts on a Sunday. This #poem from #LauraMcKowen makes me feel like I can let out a breath of relief. “You do not have to carry all the water. … Wait. You will be met on the bridge.” ❤️💙💛 https://t.co/pxbG2UuK97 pic.twitter.com/PFzVym1htp

We hope you’re having a cozy weekend! Kansas and I will be matching today (my hat, his pajamas) at #GreyhoundCrossroads playgroup. No idea if he can run in his #dinosaurjammies, but we will find out! (And if not, they’re still great for lounging.) #catchmeifyoukansas pic.twitter.com/GY6SFk9M51

The date shift on the calendar tonight does not mean you are leaving your person in the past. As @WhatsYourGrief says, “It’s just another day, a single sleep. Nothing magical is changing or evaporating.” Read their full caption at https://t.co/gkORoWURF7. ❤️💙💛 #justanotherday pic.twitter.com/g6b1Fmsa7o

“Make mistakes nobody's ever made before. Don't freeze, don't stop, don't worry it isn't good enough, or it isn't perfect, whatever it is: art or love or work or family or life. Whatever it is you're scared of doing, Do it. Make your mistakes, next year & forever.” —@neilhimself

Today’s #griefsupport recommendation is @thedougycenter, the national #grief center for children and families. This #grieftip hits me right in the middle of my holiday blues: “Remember it’s ok to still have fun.” Everything is complicated by the fact that Rader should be here. pic.twitter.com/zmNgU8fd3a

This dropped in my podcast feed just as I was waking up, and I listened to it —a message from @johnpavlovitz— immediately. So glad I did. A podcast about #depression may not intuitively seem like a #griefresource, but trust me, it is. Try a couple episodes & see. #holidaysarehard https://t.co/cvYvCvxiE1
