💚Living with Suicide Loss. Grieving is a process. 🕊️
🌅Woke up with a heavy heart this morning, knowing tomorrow marks the anniversary of my nephew Gabriel's passing. I spent some quiet time at his resting place, knowing that he wouldn't want us to dwell in sorrow. You'd want us to celebrate your life, to share stories and remember all the joy you brought into the world. ❤️
You are loved and deeply missed, Gabriel. 💟

Also, BIG #gratitude for my apartment, which lets me see 2 kinds of #CherryBlossoms out back & #city beauty out front even if I'm not well enough to go out 🙌🏽
Good morning to everyone except the guy who told me that maybe if I just changed my diet (based on a special he saw on Netflix) I could stop taking all my #mentalhealth meds.
What? Most employers approach to #MentalHealth is still basically handing out pamphlets that say "suck it up" in the friendliest possible language, and tying a yellow balloon to your termination notice when you can't.
