A new book from an old friend. Grief is hard to talk about, but this book does it beautifully. https://t.co/0pXr8Dht4O

[Modern Loss @ModernLoss]

Oh, friend. Thank you for everything. @MatthewPerry. 💙💛

I wrote an essay for @modernloss about finding your way back to yourself after loss. Huge thanks to @rebeccasoffer for the opportunity and to @iuliamdb @lelyse522 and @lsteel for setting the stage so selflessly. I love you guys.

Here’s to the women doing meaningful work at every possible level—even when they don’t even realize it. #InternationalWomensDay

A must-read.

My wife ⁦@MaryKForrest⁩ wrote an essay about grieving our son Henry that is sensitive, bold and above all brave, writing about the hardest thing a parent can ever do. The Week I Spent With Our Son Henry Before He Died: Essay https://t.co/4ClgWzaSI5

[Rebecca Soffer @RebeccaSoffer]

When “very cool” + “grief” intersect. And how can they not, with @katecjames, @waltien, @myqkaplan @ElizabethGlazer, @benwassertweet, @MoulinRougeBway’s John Cardoza & Brian freaking d’Arcy James involved?! Tickets here for The @ModernLoss Variety Hour: https://t.co/A75M2OHWG5

Hang in there, team. It’s nearly Spring.

[Modern Loss @ModernLoss]

And fall, and try to get up and stumble, and maybe then fall flat on your emotional ass again, and rinse and repeat…but hopefully, eventually, slowly, toward rising. #flyeaglesfly

[Modern Loss @ModernLoss]

Don't mean nothing that @richardmarx gets it. What do you miss calling someone (or being called)?

[Rebecca Soffer @RebeccaSoffer]

I just learned the @ModernLoss newsletter is a 'handpicked' featured publication on @substack. This means a whole lot to me and I hope you check it out (for free!) Lots of previous issues to read there, too. https://t.co/Si8nUAzbqv

"Nobody gets through this life unscathed…but then you’re left with a choice: are you gonna let your grief drown you? Or are you gonna face it and come through the other side?" -- Harrison Ford as Paul.

I'm a really big fan of everything about 'Shrinking.'

[Modern Loss @ModernLoss]

IYKYK. (And page 206 of The Modern Loss Handbook has lots of ideas for how to spend it.)

[Modern Loss @ModernLoss]

Still hard to come up with a response to that one!

[Rebecca Soffer @RebeccaSoffer]

I am flabbergasted to learn from @OprahDaily that @GayleKing’s top 2 books from 2022 were “The Light We Carry” by @MichelleObama & “The Modern Loss Handbook” by, um, me. How is this real life. Thank you, Gayle. 💙💙💙https://t.co/jk1u86jg4A

Co-founder of @ModernLoss @RebeccaSoffer, had been planning to write a guide to coping with grief. Then the pandemic hit, and the need felt especially urgent. So she wrote it.

In our podcast episode of "Can We Talk?", we speak with Rebecca about grief: https://t.co/q9BsEuCd95
