This post from @WhatsYourGrief gets me. When Rader’s light went out, a connection was broken that prevents so much else in my life and family from functioning the way we expect. I keep trying to get the lights to come back on and they just won’t. It’s exhausting. #lifeafterloss pic.twitter.com/4wMly2MdHg

Author Michèle Saint-Michel says: “Grief validation: You make sense. Your grief makes sense. Try on some of these phrases. How do they feel? (Adapted from a post by @SitWithSharon)” ❤️💙💛 #griefhelp #grieving #griefswan [2/2] pic.twitter.com/kIjYy2EWEt

Totally different kind of #griefresource: comics at https://t.co/IRoIMlkoOb! #GriefKid lost her mom and brother to cancer. You won’t find more insightful #griefcomics. This one is so true for me. Visit her IG to check her latest (a riff on Spotify Wrapped) — Your Year in Grief. pic.twitter.com/KB1bmTVkio

Today’s #griefhelp resource is for parents who have lost a child: @TCFofUSA. Visit https://t.co/KBt6yZXqYA to find a #supportgroup in your area, & check Facebook for online support. They even have smaller groups for specific losses such as by suicide or loss of an only child.

Thinking so much about Rader and the way he saw and tried to understand the world. Today on #HumanRightsDay I remember his commitment to fairness, and am inspired to keep working toward making the kind of world he’d be proud of. ❤️💙💛 #AllHumanAllEqual #StandUp4HumanRights https://t.co/3bAwnmjI9x

#HolidaysAreHard, so I’ll be posting #griefresources. If you or someone you love is grieving, check out @refugeingrief. You’ll feel seen and understood. This is our 5th Christmas without Rader. The missing isn’t as sharp as the first couple, but it doesn’t go away. #loveandloss pic.twitter.com/ttXW94d3NW

It’s the 80th #PearlHarborRemembranceDay. Thinking of my paternal grandpa (pic: ‘37 or ‘38, before the 1941 attack) on the Raleigh (upper left) which sustained heavy damage, but he survived; my dad born a year later.

Happy #MarioMonday! We are keeping decorating simple this year: just our #Mario-themed @Hallmark #keepsakeornament tree with a paper #luma tree topper, in the basement game room. Have you scaled back your #holidaydecor during the pandemic? ❤️💙💛 #holidaysarehard pic.twitter.com/6zg21OUkKm

I love the crackling of this #frasierfir scented candle I received as a gift. Making your home smell good is a simple #selfcare tip. (🕯: @WoodWickCandles ) [2/2] pic.twitter.com/mzadlr09VG

My #plant that’s been through the most (#nightbloomingcereus?) resembles this impressive specimen I saw climbing up to the greenhouse rafters at @YewDellGardens (pic2&3). After you survive something hard, with care and time, you may be surprised how you’ll adapt and grow. [2/2] pic.twitter.com/PvkjYIsVJT

Check out the #perfectionism series of posts at https://t.co/yntI7imccd. I struggle with it & in recent years have worked on some strategies. One that sounds simple but is hard in practice: telling myself something is #goodenough & just going with it instead of making it better. pic.twitter.com/RAjoNrYIzW

So happy to finally start #holidaybaking! Made my first 30 mini loaves of @LibbysPumpkin Cranberry Bread in these fun @OldTimePottery loaf pans, and my house smells delicious. Baking these as gifts brings me so much joy during this season, even when grief means #holidaysarehard. pic.twitter.com/1scgts1wqQ
