#TruthBooking: Who are you missing this holiday season? At our house we really miss Bob-Bob, David’s dad who died suddenly last year. I always feel the ache of my grandparents being gone at Christmas, especially in the traditions we don't observe anymore. I also lost a dear friend this year, and he's been on mind, too.
It's okay to stop and breathe and cry and talk and remember and even throw breakable things at the fence if you need to expel some anger. I hope those of you who are in a grief chapter can let someone in to share that heaviness with you.
If you are not in a grief season, I hope you will pause today and think of someone you know who is. Perhaps you could reach for them and offer them your presence- it can be as simple as a text, a call, a note, or a small gift. Maybe it's a meal taken or shared. For some an invitation to time spent with your family would be an enormous gift of not having to be alone.
The second song from my new record drops today on Spotify. I wrote the piece with my friend Daniel Walker. It examines grief from several perspectives. Feel free to take a listen and share with anyone who might need to hear it.
You are loved. You are not alone. ❤️
