I adore you and your energy! Also, I mentioned TFC to a friend in need of grief-support and she said, “Oh, I need to read that.” I’m happy to be your people friend. xxx
Beautiful post, as always, Casey! I love the way you're able to capture the nuance of living through grief. So many things can be true-- heartbreakingly, humanly so-- at once.
Beautiful thoughts and great advice Casey. We so enjoyed talking to Kevin at the cocktail party. Please get in touch if you will be in the NYC area as we would love to take you to dinner.
Bernadette, thanks so much for reading and commenting! Kevin mentioned how much he'd enjoyed talking with you and your husband. We'd love to meet for dinner! I have your email and will absolutely get in touch. If you're ever in the Albany area, please do the same.
I love what you said in your last point, Casey: "...Speak from the heart. Saying something well-intentioned, even if you miss the mark a bit, is better than remaining silent. Folks in grief need your sincere, imperfect love. We all do." It's perfect.
Im so happy you found something of value here. I’ve written lots about grief, here and in essays that are linked on my website. I hope you’ll check them out!

Thank you for the kind words—you know the feeling is mutual. 🩷. And thanks for spreading the word. I’m hoping preorders will be up soon!

I agree with your advice, Casey. As someone who supports people with suicidal thoughts every day, sometimes "I wish I knew what to say" is what works.
Thank you for reading and for adding this, Marisa. Coming from someone with deep investment in supporting others, this is so confirming.
