You are fortunate to have had him. I'm sorry for your sadness.
He looks like a real good boy.
Yeah, we can't escape feelings forever. I guess it's just tough to understand why I have to go through so many difficulties in life.
Thank you for sharing your personal experience. I do need to be cognizant of unhealthy coping. You handled it the best way you knew how to at the time. I'm happy you finally got out of that.
Getting Over a Breakup
How have you successfully gotten over a breakup? I did not end the relationship and it was the most significant of my life. I feel confused and trying to understand why. I'm not sleeping well and my anxiety has decided to resurface. I'm ruminating. I don't have many people to go to about this. Please don't say I will find someone else, because I can't go there right now. And I know it won't happen anyway.

One of my first punch needle attempts. I like drawing my own patterns. I'm thinking about getting into rug hooking.

Love in Loss
I found this to be a beautiful poem for coping with the loss of a loved one. Especially fitting if you are coping with loss on this holiday.
Stop the Bill
Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle unloaded several questions about a bill — that would outlaw abortion in Ohio if the U.S. Supreme Court overturns Roe v. Wade — during its first House committee hearing.
This bill would make it too difficult for medical providers to save a mother's life in the case of ectopic pregnancy or other health conditions. Having medical professionals involved in writing healthcare legislation should be required.
Are They Clueless?
Ulta, did anyone use a brain? During mental health awareness month to top it off. A reminder to practice sensitivity and think before you speak/type.
