I’m so glad you listened to what you needed and stepped away from your phone for a bit. Our nervous systems were never meant to be so available to the awful things of the world 24/7. Sending so much care, compassion, and comfort for the grief you are navigating and the emotions moving through you.

A beautiful meditation on grief, Rebecca. Thank you for sharing this experience with us. I love the phrase "touch grass" - I already try to do that every day, and now I know what to call it.

Touch grass; when a day goes by without being outside, my soul feels heavy, more so in today’s world. Your writing touches my soul.

Grief, both personal and for the world can be overwhelming and yet feeling the hurt is indeed a way to lead us to love. May it be as simple as touching grass. In doing so we are connected to the earth and in some ways, with each other.
