Our grief, our horror, and our outrage in the face of state-sanctioned terror is collective. May this moment move us to deeper solidarity and deeper community.
Our grief, our horror, and our outrage in the face of state-sanctioned terror is collective. Everyone who resides in the city of Nashville is our neighbor and each and every one of our neighbors deserves to live without fear of being snatched from their loved ones and from our community, regardless of their actual or assumed immigration status. The inherent worth and dignity of each of our neighbors is not conferred by any state and thereby cannot be stripped through legislative fiat. Government refusal to honor the worth and dignity of any one of our neighbors does not change that fact. Our lives and our collective safety are intertwined. May this moment move us to deeper solidarity and deeper community.

To allow time for collaboration with other members of the community as we lay the groundwork for future events and support options, I have made some necessary changes to group scheduling and registration for the remainder of February and the month of March.

Thank you for your understanding!
All Monday night. Grief groups are on hiatus until further notice. The Wednesday night. In-person grief group is now closed in new participants and will reopen on a case-by-case basis as space allows. Other options and events will be announced as they are available. Thank you for understanding.

Updates on my journey (for the community that has supported me along the way). 💜
Orange background with white text text reads revisiting the scene of the crash. Dispatches from my journey to conquer the hill that almost conquered my wrist. Back in mid-november. I took an unfortunate tumble and a mud slicked hill while hiking and broke my wrist quite spectacularly. The severity of the brake associated surgery to repair. 615 grief.substack.com
