Thank you, Andrea. I absolutely love this from your profile: β€œTechnical support for the soul.”

I’m pretty sure I’ll be dropping in at the Help Desk from time to time.

Thanks for taking the time to read my piece.

Please do! The community that I've built here is super supportive! Definitely shoot me a DM if you ever need direct support. ❀️ We'll have our next writing workshop coming up in June so stay tuned!

Thinking of you and your family, and how in your grief, you still can see your impressive Regency Era felines

hanging in that heavily trafficked hallway, and feel a smile break forth.

They bring a whole mix of feelings to me. Thank you for your continued care and support, Jim.

These pictures reflect the journey that you described.

I really felt they expressed the disorientation and bewilderment I experienced. Thank you for your comment, Erin.

This is proof that there is always space for humor in the healing.

I love your reflection on my story, Hilary. I don’t think I realized before how close to humour this cuts amidst all the sorrow.

Thank you for stopping to share your impression.

There is a specific kind of clarity that comes with shock, and your description of browsing a HomeSense while the world is tilting on its axis captures that surrealism perfectly.

Great to have your voice on Substack. I have subscribed and look forward to reading more. I would love you to do the same, if my writing resonates.

George, thank you for this reflection. You’ve summarized my internal landscape, that day, so well!

Culture is something I’ve always been interested in. I’ve followed you and look forward to reading your work.
