“Just by witnessing what we are experiencing in the Gaza Strip is perfectly sufficiently to wipe out the sanity of an human being.”

Give sorrow words. The grief that does not speak whispers the o'erfraught heart and bids it break.

I can honestly say, "I know who I am today because I knew you," But knowing you is also what caused my grief two years later. Join me and my therapists as we talk about its return.

Many people who've lost a loved one talk to them in their heads or out loud. Wind phones are a way of channeling that — often old-fashioned rotary telephones, installed in public spaces, where you can say all the things you want to say to the people you're grieving. Here's a story from Fodor's Travel explaining the idea's origins in Japan, and how it's become a worldwide movement. “Most of them are at beautiful places where they’re quiet, private, and in nature, which I think is important," says Amy Dawson, whose daughter died in 2020. "It allows us to surrender to our grief and express what we need to express.”

Getting Through the First Summer After My Wife Died

In the months after my wife Jane died, I kept busy to survive. This is a reflection on grief, parenting, and learning to live without her.

Early April is a tender time for me.

In today's #Substack post, I share a little about why alongside a new way to engage with my work.

The Pissed-Off Boss #Limerick http://www.madkane.com/humor_blog/2025/04/06/workplace-limerick-2/

God is there for you
looking down from heaven
around the clock 24/7

This divine force
is the perfect solace source
in times of #grief
but for God's sake
a weary Lord would be thrilled
if occasionally
we could stand
on our own two feet
and self soothe

Free will atrophies
when you always choose
the easy path
of deity dependency

Mix it up once and awhile
and show the Master Creator
that though we always
appreciate his loving support
we possess the power within
to rise up and proceed
sans prayer crutches in times of need

Rolling Stone UK: Music To Die For: New project uses music to open up conversations about grief. “Music To Die For is a new project built on that connection – between music and memory, loss and love – and it’s asking people to share the soundtrack to their grief. Created by clinical psychologist Dr Hazel Harrison and arts consultant Phillipa Anders, the initiative began during a Britten […]

I’ve been thinking about healing—not just the kind that scars, but the deeper kind.

Is it when the memory softens? When you stop rehearsing the story? When your body no longer braces?

Maybe healing isn’t a destination.

So how do we know we’re on the right path?
What are some signs you’ve noticed along the way?
