Our hearts are with the Florida State University community.

Today, there are families experiencing the unimaginable shock of a sudden and traumatic loss. We are holding them close in our thoughts and hoping that those who know these families will reach out, show up, and simply be there. A warm meal, a listening ear, or just your presence can make a world of difference in the early days of grief.

To everyone hurting today: You are not alone.

one of the greatest tragedies in life is that you will always be loved more than you will ever know. someone in class finds your presence inviting and warm, even if you've only ever exchanged a few words with them-maybe none at all. someone on the street loves your smile and it gets them down the next few streets. someone you used to be friends with still wishes to fondly call your name. someone you used to be friends with five years ago would give anything to be in the same room as you today. someone who regularly comes into work is disappointed when you aren't there to brighten their day. someone missed you today. someone noticed you were gone. someone loves you when you're there; someone loves you when you're nowhere to be found at all. you think you have always disappeared when you're no longer in the picture, but you've never left the frame.

In light of the statement below from this article, consider that a person's difficulties with expressive language or verbal communication do not at all mean that a person is not thinking about or processing what you are saying.

“Pretty much everything we’ve tested so far, we don’t see any evidence of the engagement of the language mechanisms,” Fedorenko says. “Your language system is basically silent when you do all sorts of thinking.”

Dr. Cori Calkins was honored to discuss a fascinating and powerful topic last week with a group of people who seemed just as passionate as she is about the symbolism in dreams and the paths they are showing us. Thank you to the staff, volunteers and members of Valerie's House for graciously inviting her into your beautiful and healing space to share this wisdom within.
