I hope you will follow me on Instagram instead and keep our conversation going! You can find me @widowedparentproject there. I’ve so loved meeting so many of you online (and even a few in-person) and this account helped me face so much of my own grief. Thank you. 2/2

I’ve made the hard decision to wind down this account at year’s end. I was hopeful when Twitter became X that maybe the impact on my #griefcommunity here wouldn’t be so bad but I almost never see the ones I follow anymore. The algorithm just dumps MAGA content day and night. 1/2

This is a lovely idea
Many bereaved parents find Christmas so very painful. If you are sending a card to a bereaved parent or family member, please acknowledge the loss of their loved one. Writing 'and remembering...' or 'never forgetting...' or 'thinking of...' will be welcomed by bereaved families.

10 years ago today I stood in my local Barnes and Noble, looking for a book that could teach me how to parent grieving children when my heart was shattered. Look what just arrived at my local B&N! #fullcircle #chaosmagic #widowedparenting #shipwrecked
