Dark Humor is my love language
Deeply care about increasing grief literacy, having an end of life plan, understanding ADHD, and great stationary.
I really don’t care about the renaming of the Gulf of Mexico. It’s been that, and will continue to be that, and if her wants to call it something else, have fun. It takes a lot more for it to be officially changed and I’m far more concerned with the attempt at erasing trans identities.

Understanding complex information can be difficult with ADHD because of working memory and varying processing speeds. Grief can cause brain fog that does the same.

So if right now you are having a hard time understanding wtf it’s going on, be gentle with yourself. It’s a lot.

Today is so heavy and I don’t know how I am supposed to exist right now.

Our bodies remember even when our minds forget. It never ceases to amaze me how I will be feeling off and then remember what’s occurred around that particular time of year or what’s happened recently that was maybe a trigger from a previous trauma. Bodies hold on.

It’s not just “stuff”. It’s letters, it’s family recipes, it’s videos and old pictures and things that don’t exist on a cloud, it’s wedding dresses and baptism gowns and collections that took years to build, movie ticket stubs, it’s memories. It matters. It’s not replaceable. #lafires #grief

Can we…stop telling people how to define their experiences? That would be great.

In my social media related to grief, I’ve always attached my professional credentials. In part because I am proud of them and in part because it felt like it gave me “legitimacy”.
But I don’t care to do that anymore. I am proud of my credentials, but I am more than the letters behind my name.

Starting off strong here with my pitch to all that stages of grief is wildly misunderstood and there are no stages of grief
