"Hello --It is May 31st and welcome to Wonderland Fellow Griever. — “You’ve just stepped Down the Rabbit Hole — where mental health meets madness after loss. This is your daily dose of truth, grief, and yes, just the right bit of madness.”

WEEK 5: The FINALE for may 2025 Daily Nuggets

Day 31: Today’s truth is: "You're still here. That matters." Idea: Completion, continuation, and gratitude. Day 31. We made it. This is something! THANK YOU

You've shown up—for 31 days—inside your grief, your heart, and your truth. That is not small. It is extraordinary. Your courage is inspiring. You are an extraordinary person.

This wasn't about fixing anything. It was about witnessing and giving voice to the parts that often go unseen. And you've done that.

You're still here. And that matters. It matters immensely.

Wherever you go from here — know that you carry love. That you are love. And that your story and your loved one's story are still unfolding.

This is not the end—just a pause. Remember, I'll be right here when you need me, and there's a bright future waiting for you.

Thank you for walking through May with me. Remember, you're not alone—not in this life, not in this grief, and not in this strange, sacred, mad little world we share. I'm here for you, always.

So, this is where I leave you - the finale May Nugget -- but by far, not our last time together -- I am so very, very grateful for you. If you have seen my new link in the show notes, or on my podcast, and have donated, please know I am grateful from the depths of my heart - all of it helps me continue being able to help other grievers.
