Nic, Not a question. Just wanted to thank you for what you shared in that email about what's going on for you. It feels so refreshing to hear your honest raw processing.

My Dad died at the end of last year and I'm constantly surprised by grief's many faces . For me, it can feel like a soft sleeping creature, I almost forget is there. But one that wakes up abruptly, fiercely and feels like everything. Days where everything feels okay and then something unexpected, like a piece of theatre last week, rips me open.

Reading how you express your grief has given me courage to express something of mine. I'm so here for the way you share - and so here for you not sharing when it's too much and not okay too.
