Grief doesn’t vanish. It visits. A smell. A song. A stranger’s hands. It’s still love finding its way back to you.

Grief isn't a wound that closes. It's a new organ you grow.

Not everything that hurts is healing. Some pain is just your body finally speaking. Pay attention to what aches when you're quiet. Listen before the volume gets unbearable. #lovenotes

Honor all who served—including those still fighting to find housing, safety, and peace. Too many veterans live on our streets and in our blind spots. Gratitude matters, but care changes lives.

Time doesn't heal grief. It teaches you how to hold it without dropping everything else.

I was nineteen when I made a choice that shaped the next thirty years. In hindsight, trauma bonding, and meeting our younger selves with tenderness. New on Substack. Subscribe to Bone & Bloom for weekly witness and ritual.
The Weight of a Single Decision
One choice at nineteen altered everything. This is about the weight we carry, the versions of ourselves we mourn, and the tenderness it takes to meet our past without flinching.

You’re allowed to outgrow the version of you who accepted less just to feel safe. There is no shame in realizing what you settled for was survival. #lovenotes

Sometimes the urge to stay busy is grief in disguise. Stillness feels unsafe when motion meant survival. Start small. One breath.

You are allowed to want tenderness and still build a life that doesn't depend on anyone else to give it to you. Wanting isn't a sign of weakness. #lovenotes

Not everything needs to be healed right now. Some wounds just want to be witnessed without being prodded. Let this be a day of sacred observation. #lovenotes

What did grief teach you about living? Every loss leaves a lesson. What’s the one that stuck?

Grief remakes time. The threshold isn’t a passage. It becomes a room you learn to live in. I wrote about that quiet in‑between and small rituals that help the body stay.
The Liminal Season of Grief
A gentle invitation to pause inside the strange space where grief lives. This piece is not about fixing or moving on—it’s about honoring the threshold, the waiting, and the quiet becoming.

Your brain might lie to you, but your breath doesn't. When the fog rolls in and everything feels loud or numb, return to what's always been yours. #lovenotes

There's a difference between being alone and being abandoned. Today, remind your nervous system that solitude is not punishment, it's a sacred threshold. #lovenotes

Choose one meaningful object. Place it where you can see it. Sit, breathe, remember. That’s a ritual too.

Medical Aid in Dying is not about giving up. It is about letting a life end with dignity, intimacy, and choice. I wrote about what mercy looks like in practice — and who our laws leave behind.
