Today I talk all about SIGNS -- or messages from loved ones who have passed.

Julia Louis-Dreyfus talked about signs on her podcast "Wiser Than Me" (the episode with Isabel Allende), and she said: "even if it isn't a sign -- which I would like to believe that it is -- even if it isn't, to think of it as a sign is okay...it is an affirmation of the mystery of life."

That's how I like to think about signs too. There's so much we don't know about the universe, that I can't definitively say whether they're real or not real. But I choose to believe that they're real, because it comforts me, and makes me feel connected to people I love who have passed.

SO on today's episode, I read an excerpt that I wrote about a very meaningful sign I felt I received from my friend Lauren.

If you've received a sign, or want to talk about signs, please reach out to me! I'd love to hear about it!

Y'all, I get real vulnerable here.

I talk about the memoir about my friendship that I've been working on, and the intense web of thorns that is grief and memories. I ask the really hard questions: by writing about her, am I honoring her? As the memories I write about change and morph over time, am I creating a memory of a memory of a memory of a memory? Am I, in short, erasing her?

Grief can completely rearrange your priorities. It can be a sudden, vicious reveal of the most barren parts of your life, leaving you feeling naked and foolish; whose life was I even living? Why have I been spending my energy painstakingly building this ludicrous tower of cards?

Have you ever felt that way? That’s how I felt in the days, weeks, and months after my friend’s death, and I talk about it in today’s episode.
