Thank you. As I move through another unexpected wave of grief around my mother’s suicide (she died 35 years ago) your words give me peace and comfort. I feel you. Hugs. 💕
Oh Jason, I wish I could say there is an instant ‘cure’ for this level of pain but I’d be lying. It’s over 4 years for me now and watching those videos still hurts. I still think it’s the right thing to do, because it’s an acknowledgement of the thing that won’t die, your love for your little girl. Thinking of you 💕
Jason, thank you for sharing. Right now, I find it very difficult to look at photos and to watch mini-videos. It's too anxiety producing for me. I don't know if I will ever be ready. One day at a time. I am glad to hear that you were able to do that despite the terrible pain. I can relate to the waves of grief. Blessings and healing to you and to all who are experiencing grief. Posts by Gary Roe are helpful but since it has a religious component, it might not be for everyone.
Allowing ourselves to feel deeply is the best thing we can do as we grieve. I see that is what you are doing, Jason and I know that is how you will heal. Thank you so much for being here for all of us who are grieving. Peace and blessings!

I have often appreciated your words about grief, but today I thank you for introducing me to Dina Bell-Laroche, and the concept of STUGs.
Now I have a word for what happened to me today.
Profound, as always. So grateful for your voice in this sphere. Sending you peace as you give so many others peace by normalizing grief.
wow, just wow. thank you Jason; I'm a new reader but I'll be back.

Thank you for sharing ‘STUG.’ This is a great reminder even the most painful moments will pass through eventually 🤍

Reading this helps me remember that grief is not only okay, but it’s natural. And joy is not wrong, it is natural too. Life is beautiful and painful.
