Just too much

I like to think that I am generally death-positive. But sometimes, the grief touches too close to home, and I have to live in my moment for a bit. 

Make lunch for my kiddo, lug dirt in my yard, have conversations with donors, give performance reviews, run, sleep, eat. 

For me, this is where silence around situations like the horrific massacre in Uvalde, Texas comes up. I couldn’t let it in. 

And I know I must. Because that pain is so real for so many. 

So taking some time today to honour those victims, read their stories, honour the lives they will not live.

It is a lot, but it is important. Do it when you’re able, but be gentle on yourself.
