What do you remember? Do share..
Holding you & your memories in love.

When my daughter was younger, I found a page she had written in her journal that simply read, “Moon, dune, I’ll be with you soon.” I don’t know why, I don’t know what for - she doesn’t remember either - but still to this day, I say it […]

PSA: Telling someone not to cry, does not help someone feel comforted.

Often, people say it to stop their own discomfort. They would rather silence their pain than sit with the helplessness in the face of it.

The most healing thing you can offer someone who’s crying isn’t a solution, it’s your presence.
