Being a helper can help. Even just being open to it will provide many beautiful opportunities. In this episode, I talk about some interactions I've had this past week with other parents online who are trying to heal from the death of their child...and how much it's helping me to be okay.

More conversation about things like good news in the times of sadness, and probably my most analogy-filled episode yet. I might have to take it easy on the analogies, but they give feeling and a sense of form to things I otherwise couldn't find the words for...thanks for listening and for your kindness!
