Nici - Thank you for the work you're doing. As a grieving mom, I agree that, "Certain things can only happen in darkness." Sometimes I like to crawl into my grief and just sit with it. It's helping me understand how I can best honor my son.

Thank you for this, Nici. I have a deep resonance with your words. This, ' Many have forgotten their true entanglement with all of life...' echoes how the stressful rollercoaster of caregiving has revealed to me the knotted entanglement of love, suffering, and anticipatory grief over these last nine years.

Grief tending and caregiving feel entwined or synonymous, especially considering the needs of communities today.
