(CW: Suicide) This month I’m sharing posts from the past that tell the story of having lost a chosen child to suicide.

This experience, thanks to the most amazing server (Mickey), will forever be one of my top 10 experiences in this life! Truly.

A stranger made space for me and invited Gage actively into it, then spent two hours asking about my beloved.

We can do this for others. For those struggling and those grieving.

The pain of life can be impossible and complicated grief is unrelenting.l Use whatever wild, weird, creative idea that comes to you to invite others into an empathic accompaniment. By doing this, Mickey literally helped me heal!
