Wow, I would be lost without my dear ones in my community! Those clutch conversations that bridge me from despair to hope have made all the difference this week.
There’s nothing that compares to the validation and healing sense that comes from being held and seen in the struggle of it all. My community includes IRL and long distance loved ones who are family, neighbors, friends, colleagues: all of us are fellow suffering beings on this path of life together. I have beloveds who live nextdoor and 3,000 miles away whose voices offer me strength and nurturing. I need them all now more than ever. I am so grateful for their voices, listening and holding skills, their humor and their reality checks.
