How have you found joy through grief?

For me it's been through awareness and acknowledgement. Kinda like seeing the silver lining in a cloud, but deeper. It's learning how to lean into the grief while also recognizing that there are things to be grateful for. It's acknowledging the hard stuff and the good stuff.

It's not easy to do especially if you're in the throes of grief. It takes consistent practice, and the grace to know it might not happen every day.

I like to make it a practice. Every day when I wake up, I think about all the things I'm grateful for... yes, there are the obvious ones like family, friends and Boomer 🐶... but how about all the other ones like the rain that feeds the flowers 💐, the impromptu walk with a friend, or the quiet drive to work. All of those things count.

So... if you're feeling heavy, take a minute and make a list. Add to it every day. It won't erase the grief, but it has the potential to help you find some joy in the mess.

I love you. ❤️

Yellers!! Chelsea Handler is a total badass for posting this email that she sent to her family. I highly recommend you read it. And I highly recommend you learn from it. In a nutshell it's a reminder to just be a good, decent human. It's really not a lot to ask.

🧡 Be respectful of others

It's not hard people. And you know what happens when you're someone who actually does these things on the regular? It becomes second nature. And you are regarded as a good egg.

Your mother will appreciate it. Trust me.
