"It's not how much you love another, it's who you are when you are with that person." ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ...if you are not your best self, re-evaluate your relationship(s). 💜

🧡Orange Shirt Society & Phyllis Webstad reminds us:
"Today is September 30th -Orange Shirt Day and the National Day of Truth and Reconciliation.

As we reflect, learn, engage. We honour the strength and resilience of all Survivors of residential schools and remember the children who never made it home.

This day is a call to action — to have meaningful conversations, to listen deeply, and to stand in solidarity with Indigenous communities. Whether you attend an event, share a story, or simply wear your orange shirt, your participation matters.

Let us walk together in truth and reconciliation. Every Child Matters — not just today, but everyday" 🧡

This is a lovely, gentle reminder about honouring grief... and yourself... "Grief is Love with nowhere to go... Let that love cradle you"💙🩷💛💙🧡💚

The Sacred Work of Grieving

Grief is not just an emotion,
it is a weight the body carries.
A fog that settles over the mind.
A quiet ache in the bones.

It is no wonder you feel tired.

In this season of sorrow, let yourself rest, deeply, unapologetically, and often.
This is not laziness.
This is the work of healing.

Nourish your body with what you can.
Even if it’s just a piece of bread, a cup of tea, or a few sips of water.
You are feeding a body that has been cracked open by loss.

Move gently.
Stretch your arms.
Step into sunlight if you can.
Breathe with intention.
The goal is not strength, but softness.
Not pushing through, but allowing yourself to be exactly as you are.

Let the tears come if they need to.
Let the silence linger if it comforts you.
Speak your loved one’s name.
Or hold it quietly in your heart.

You do not need to be ‘okay.’
You do not need to be ‘productive.’
You only need to be present with what is true for you now.

Grief is love, with nowhere to go.
Let that love cradle you, even in your exhaustion.

You are not alone in this.
You are not broken.
You are grieving.

And that is sacred work.
