No tree in our house but watching my Framo brings back so many happy times. Mom, Dad, Judy, John . . . . miss them so much. However, I feel so fortunate to have had each as a role model and to have felt their love. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
in my work with women as a hormone consultant, lots of tears come up - universally, women apologize - and I even do it too (I feel almost compelled to apologize for fear of making the other person uncomfortable with my big feelings)...
but, thankfully, holding space for tears and big emotions is part of my practice. It was shown/taught to me as a skill by my midwife mentors.
Thank you for showing this clip and normalizing crying - it's so cathartic and such an integral piece to our emotions.
Also, your rememberance tree is the most beautiful idea ever.
Thank you Missy! I think the ability to cry without apologizing, and to be with others who are crying without avoiding, are some of the greatest indicators of a deep emotional intelligence. xo
Wish they taught this in schools…and I’m a teacher 😊. Happy holidays, all
me too, Jeff!!

Thank you for writing this and supporting space for grief. I also love your remembrance tree idea, and recall you sharing about it.
thanks Lisa! xo
