This is a practice. There is no perfection attainable, only practice.

Early on in life, we get messages about how the world works and our part in it. For some of us, caregivers and parents taught us that we were responsible for others' feelings.

This is Maternal Suicide Awareness Week, leading up on to World Suicide Prevention Day, falling this year on Friday, September 10.

In my work with individuals and couples, one of the most common themes is that clients want me to know they were loved, "had a good childhood," or their parents "tried" or "meant well." Often, clients feel defensive and protective of their childhoods because they're worried what will come up if we open that door together.

Quoting @dr.wesbellamy from Charlottesville:

Today is National Rainbow Baby Day, highlighting the celebration of rainbow babies, those that came after incredible loss.

Do any of these feel familiar?

Grief applies to so much more than death. For some, this list includes so much of what has been grieved during the pandemic.
