I made this for you, friend. I hope it reminds you that no moments are worthless.
We can’t control what someone else feels or believes. But we can show up. We can choose to care. We can keep showing up.
There’s no way to deny it—this year is different. As we welcome May and Mental Health Month, we’re not only addressing the very thing our work centers on, but there’s also talk about a pandemic, an uncertain future, and physical distancing.

My brother was extraordinary. When he died, so suddenly and without warning, I felt that nothing would be extraordinary again. Except for my pain.
I knew he was struggling, but he told me was better.
By showing up and by speaking out, you made today better for yourself and for others, and we are beyond grateful.
I know what it’s like to have the voice in your head amplify your deepest insecurities and wounds.
