How To Speak Through Grief

“Givvus a kiss, I’ve got my lippy on tonight.” 💋

Revisiting these words from a decade+ ago as we celebrated the life of my Nan, the Rev. Dr. Moira Laidlaw - giving thanks for her spectacular life and deeply grieving your sudden death. (You can learn more about her in my blog article called My Journey To Interfaith Ministry.)

She’d be so proud of how we have all continued to grow in her love. There’s constant flashes of her in my daughter’s face, she’s still so alive here.

I’m prouder than ever to be made from her and follow in her footsteps - bringing a steady, loving kindness to those who are hurting the most. #loveworks

Also, this is a great case study on how to speak through grief:
🌬️ BREATHE.
⏳ Take your time.
🫂 Have your beloveds around you.
🤧 Bring tissues.
📣 Call in the love of your person.
❤️‍🩹 Hold your heart so it doesn’t leap out of your chest.
