Thanks for this, Christine. Your writing is always so simple and elegant and impactful. I really needed this today. I'm going through a season of processing my older brother's suicide 5 years ago. I've definitely put the entire episode of his last years into different compartments. It helps me to remember, to heal, to feel the anger and rage, to forgive, to rebuild, and to grow.

Thank you as always. Right on time once again!

Thank you for sharing your thoughts, Mark. And of course, thank you for reading. I appreciate your subscription. I also appreciate your honesty about your own challenges; suicide is an extremely complicated grief to manage. Sending you so much strength as you navigate the complexities of your feelings. And I’m so very sorry for your loss. Those words seem so ordinary, but are heartfelt. Unfortunately, no one can alleviate the pain such a loss leaves, but we can hold you in empathy. 🫶🏼
