I think, as I fell into the rabbit hole of Substack, that I found a unique place to stop and look around. Your words and tone make me want to stick around a learn about a topic I have become well versed in but not comfortable with these last four years since my soulmate’s death. My condolences on your father’s passing.

Lisa, I am so glad you are here. Thank you for such a kind note. I hope you can find some comfort ❤️ I find so much beautiful writing about grief here on substack. I think there is something about grieving that really craves to be seen. Off the top of my head, @Christine Vaughn Davies writes extensively about grief as a hospital chaplain.

you’re an angel. I think emotions are no different from any technology like air conditioning or airplanes. Only more complex and personal. I see a world where emotional competence is commonplace like the English language. Thanks for taking on this great duty and sharing this trove.

Substack as a rabbit hole of the best kind is right! But glad I went on a trail that led me to your writing!
