@elisamekler I’m so sorry for your loss, Elisa (and ours as a community). I hope it’s some comfort to you to know how much April valued her relationship with you. 1/3

[Daniel Johnson @_DanielJ_]

@elisamekler I don’t know if this will resonate but in my own recent experiences with grief I’ve found the “ball and the box” analogy extremely accurate. And when the waves come I think of the pain as a way of remembering (and honouring) the person I lost, it sort of helps… 3/3
