I’m so sorry for your loss and for how hard the last few weeks have been. I am just a stranger on the internet, but I wanted to share something my mom used to say to me (that I wish your mom could still say to you): You’re doing a good job.

Not only are you modeling an abundance mindset for your kids by giving to others, you’re also modeling what it means to love.

Lisaa, thank you so much for such a kind response! I took a brief Substack break right after publishing but this is such a lovely message to return to :)

Wow, I never put those things together before, it's kind of mind blowing. It is one of the deepest connections I have ever considered regarding stuff and the trust of relationships. And as grateful as I am for your wisdom, I am also deeply sorry for what you have had to go through and continue to navigate. But I am thankful to see you aiming to give yourself grace and compassion for the process. And hopefully you can sense some of our support and encouragement from a distance🩷

Thank you so much for such a kind response! So glad it was a helpful connection for you. (& Apologies for the delayed response, I took a brief media break to regroup!)
