Dr. Shikha Kaphil (), a fellow in palliative care at Duke, sent a video of her thoughts at the end of a weird week…she saw the full spectrum of life and death across the funeral of an 18 year old patient, and her grandfather’s 90th birthday.

What resonates most for you from what Dr. Kaphil shared?

It’s Saturday, and you know what that means: time to share your advice in the comments ❤️

This week’s question: what advice would you give to someone thinking about getting divorced?

LA Dodgers pitcher Alex Vesia () has been honoring his newborn daughter, Sterling, who died in October 2025. At this game, he and his wife invited the healthcare team who provided support to their daughter.

We love that the announcers told us who the people were, and therefore made space for grief during an MLB broadcast ❤️

We know you mean well. But sometimes, when we tell a grieving person that everything’s going to be ok, it has the opposite effect. It makes us feel like you’re dismissing the depth of our pain.

So, let’s speak to each other a little more honestly. And let’s sit in the pain someone shares with us.

It’ll never be ok that our loss happened. So let’s stop saying it will be because it feels more polite.

Mother’s Day events are usually flowers, brunch, and pretending everyone feels warm and fuzzy.

Respectfully… no. Not for us.

For a lot of people, Mother’s Day is grief. It’s infertility. Estrangement. Caregiving burnout. Missing your mom.
Missing the version of yourself that existed before loss. Becoming a mother after losing yours. Smiling through a holiday that doesn’t fit your story.

So this year, we made space for the feelings no one puts on greeting cards.

💥 Mother’s Day Sad Hour: Wreck Your Feelings
📍 Wreck It Rage Room
🗓 Sunday, May 10
🕛 12 - 2 PM
🎟 $25 | only 20 spots

Come safely smash things, decompress, eat lunch, and be around people who understand that Mother’s Day is not one-size-fits-all.

We’re especially proud to partner with , a woman-owned Durham small business built on the belief that people deserve safe places to release what life puts on them.

Sad Hours are not therapy. Not religious. Not weird. Not fake positivity. We’re all about hanging out, getting real, and in this case breaking stuff.

Happy Hour?🙅🏻‍♀️ Sad Hour 🤌

Join us at The Coffee Bar at The Durham Hotel ()on Wednesday, April 29 from 5–7pm for a night that’s not therapy, not a lecture, and definitely not pretending you’re fine.

It’s just real people with real grief, whether that’s a death, a divorce, a diagnosis, or something else, recently or a long time ago. Come hang out. That’s literally it.

Your $15 ticket gets you:
☕️ a specialty coffee or craft mocktail
🧀 access to a shared curated cheeseboard + light snacks
💬 a room full of people who get it

We might share stories. We might play Grief Bingo (yes, really). You can talk, listen, laugh, cry—or just exist without having to explain yourself.

Limited to 30 people, so if this is your vibe, don’t wait.

Grab your spot at the link in bio or at grieveleave.com/sad-hour

Grief, but make it social. Because not every hour is happy.
