pickCompassionate and vulnerable and moving. A unique perspective, relayed respectfully. What an intelligent, resilient, caring woman this nurse/author is! Just one of the many wonderful people helping us mere mortals find comfort and hope through the last of our lives. I appreciate the glimpse into these personal and heartbreaking experiences. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Last year I mentioned our local library built a wind phone on their property. This week our local independent newspaper made a video about this one of a kind building in Vermont. My daughter, daughter-in-law, their best friend and the librarian spoke of how valuable it is and how much they use it. I thought folks might be interested in viewing the film. It's a surprisingly vulnerable video.

pickA short, emotional read about the roller coaster that is grief and how one handles loss in their own ways. The fact that this author was only 17 years old and had the depth of knowledge about life and loss capable to write this novel is just incredible. 5/5

Still fresh in the throws of grief, I wasn't certain if I'd be able to get through this. (I didn't know what it was about prior to the trigger warning at the beginning.) Decided I was going to try it anyway, and I'm so glad I did. It broke my heart several times and put me back in that initial loss mindset. I cried. I cried like a fool actually. At my desk. At work. But it was such a good story and so well written. A truly beautiful tale.
bailedthe beta male chapter did me in. i have zero patience for toxic masculinity.
“After the year of fire
vines rise up
through the rest of our lives
of smoke
of flame
of memory.
As if to say
We're still here.
As if to say
Remember us.”
