Thank you for offering this. I’m having trouble finding my words again. This may be just what I need.

You are very welcome! This experience has been such a mess of moments that no wonder words fail us. It’s been too much all at once and there’s a weariness now that feels hard to shake. My hope is that by asking specific questions, you can write a little bit at a time and eventually you’ll know the stories you need to get down.

Thank you, wonderful Becki, for letting me know about this. I know you will find your words, exactly when you're ready. And I can attest to the healing power of writing and its power to help one find courage. Thank you for doing this, Lauren! Oh! Becki, last night I watched an old fave: "As Good as It Gets." If you haven't seen it, in a while or ever, now might be a good time.
