I can't seem to click on the poll. I use email, Substack, Facebook and Instagram. I have not gone to Bluesky and I have stopped using Twitter/X. (Side note: I followed JS Parks on Twitter and I ordered his book through your link above.)
So much good stuff in this post! I'm afraid my letter to loss would not be worded so kindly or eloquently. In fact, it would be a two word text: "You stink."
Thank you, Sharla, for so winsomely encouraging us to converse with loss rather than running from it.

I just started listening to Sons of Patriarchy.
Sharla, your beautiful writing brought tears to my eyes. Thank you for your honest expression of loss.
This was powerful. Thank you.
A book that brought me a lot of comfort after the loss of my daughter was Tracks of a Fellow Struggler by John R Claypool.
We're talking about grieving well right now. Come on over and join the conversation ...

Thank you for these good reminders as well as outlining a helpful path forward as we dialog with our losses.
