The unruliness of grief can feel unbearable, even when anticipated, even when caring for aging parents or ailing friends. Peace to each of you in all the yesterdays and todays you have to carry.

loss and pain are all-consuming. It hurts too much to know I’ll grieve the rest of my living days. So I grieve today. I cannot fathom the grief I’ll bear tomorrow and each day after. I already have all these yesterdays of grief I carry. End image description.]

Wanted to share some beautiful words… in a beautiful voice…hoping y’all have a beautiful evening and let love in when it arrives.

@kieselaymon said, “Black people deserve beautiful sentences,” and I think of that every, every day. Ima start doing some soothing meditations for us. We need more goodness, and beauty, and joy.

This is an invitation.

On using new language to help shape new experiences.
Tell yourself new things.

No water.
No water in his lungs or airways.
No water in his stomach.
Or throat.

My heart skipped a beat.
It did the same when his picture
fluttered down my timeline.
It does the same for wanton injustice.
It skips a lot of beats.

Strange fruit on southern trees
like drowning on a boat.

New whimsy project: hand-painting the lock styles in my home so there’s more beauty each time a door opens. I am a queen of making the symbolic literal and lived.

1 down, 17 to go.
🤪
Do what brings you joy.
This is an invitation.

Woke up with these words in mind yesterday.

The last line is the title.

Felt incredibly odd to write a poem from this perspective, but it was healing for me and I hope it’s healing for you in whatever ways.

SURVIVORS!!!

I want you to remember you are here because your body responded appropriately to trauma.

You are here because you froze, fought, fawned, fled…

Most of us freeze.
Most of us hate that we froze.

But you are here because you froze.
Because you paused while time kept going.
Because he figured out a way to survive
and are still surviving.

Nothing is wrong with you.
You are good.
Your body is good.
You being here is proof of that.

EMDR doesn’t get rid of traumatic memories, but it does help safely reprocess them.

I’ve been going through my own trauma recovery course again, and EMDR sessions with my therapist lately have been phenomenal.

Just a brief description of how i conceptualize EMDR.

Spend time with people who are gentle on your nervous system.

Spend time speaking to yourself softly.

When something comes along that is out of alignment with your peace, you know immediately.

Made something beautiful for y’all to breathe slowly to ☺️ Deep inhale, longer, slower exhale.

If you believe you “don’t owe anyone anything” or that you should “only treat people as well as they treat themselves,” ask yourself how safe it is to be in community with you. If you don’t believe these things, stop repeating this rhetoric. It’s anti-communal, anti-wholeness and healing, anti-goodness and care. Shift your language and expectations, y’all. We make it together.

22 years ago, now, and y’all I still don’t have it all figured out, but I promise you can make it. What things look like now is not how they’ll always be. Hang in there and believe you are okay. You are ok. Merry Christmas, y’all.

[image description: white writing on black background with purple floral edge and graduation picture of me and my dissertation chair. Wording is from 12/24/2017 and says: 18 yrs ago I went home for Christmas break, a pregnant teen, barely passing my classes & not knowing what I’d do with an undergrad degree in psychology. This is a few yrs ago with my dissertation chair. 1. You don’t have to have it all figured out right now. 2. You can make it! End image description.]
