    Your surrounding your loss is healthy. Find ways to give your sense of injustice and anger a voice. When you can say you're angry, without someone trying to clean it up or rush you through it, it doesn't have to twist back on itself.

    When it gets to be too much, and before it gets to be too much, take time to be present with yourself, with your heart - even just a moment – check in with yourself. Take walks, if you can. Escape to the bathroom. Hold something in your pocket as a talisman and an anchor.

    It's so much harder to say, "This sucks, and there's nothing I can do. But I'm here, and I love you," rather than offer those standard words of comfort. It's so much harder, and so much more useful, loving, & kind. Show up. Listen. Don't fix.

    We’ve been hearing a lot of talk about ’s ad in which a widower reminisces about his late wife with the help of Google Assistant. Responses from folks are all over the map! If you've seen it ( it if you haven’t), how did this ad land for you?

    It's perfectly normal to leave things as your person left them. You don't have to change anything until you're ready. No time is the right time. Nothing is too early or too late. It's entirely up to you.

    One of the best decisions we ever made as parents after our daughter died was to always tell our son the truth about the circumstances. The other was to not ever force him to grieve like we were. He trusted us then. He trusts us now. I don’t take that for granted.

    Being with someone in pain is not easy. The person you love simply cannot show up for your friendship in the ways you might be used to. Please find your own people to lean on at this time. It's important to be supported while you support your friend.
