In honor of Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month, we're sharing this beautiful poem by @JessBWatson, which we brought to life through illustration. Jessica wrote "The Stone" about grieving her baby daughter Hadley.⁠⁠"There is not a day that goes by that I do not miss my daughter," Jessica said of the loss. "Hadley has given me a new perspective on life and has made me a better parent. I am honored to be her mom and thankful that I got to meet her, if only for a short time."⁠⁠〰️⁠⁠#PregnancyAndInfantLossAwarenessMonth #PregnancyAndInfantLossAwareness #PregnancyAndInfantLossRemembranceDay #InfantLoss

Xray of my brother’s broken arm, sink sink sitting on kitchen counter in front of kitchen window and cut out for sink plus text: February 20th to May 30th 2025 20th to 24th Looking at the Xray of the break, I couldn’t believe my brother was entertaining not getting surgery. The best effort to manually reset the bone resulted in two overlapping ends with no chance of healing properly. I can’t believe his ability to not acknowledge pain. After that, the week was about onboarding at my new job, fighting with the bank, and trying to finalize a place for him to do transitional recovery. The place I thought was perfect said “no” because of the crack in his C2. 25th to May 30th So much has happened since February. Today I just wanted to say caregiving and starting a job and needing to adapt to, if not embrace, shifts, adjustments, and changes galore, threw me off my visual journal. Mike had the surgery and is living in a different assisted living arrangement. He has nerve damage so his wrist is paralyzed. Permanently? We don’t know. Will he get to be independent again? We don’t know. I take him to appointments and take care of his affairs and the house. I took on replacing the kitchen sink which was an old cast iron thing cemented into the counter. I dislodged it with a bottle jack and pulled it out with ratchet straps looked over an iron pipe suspended on jack stands. Ok, enough for now. More tomorrow.

Koi pond plus a buñuelo plus a green heron plus text: February15th to the 19th 2025 My birthday to 2nd day on the job     15th Happy birthday to me! Keri and I spent the day looking at places for my brother to do his next phase of recovery.   The first place had a grand piano, an ice cream bar, a koi pond, and a full calendar of activities. The next place smelled like someone used knock-off Yankee candles to hide-a far worse smell.   Keri made the day sweet with coffee breaks and dinner out at Luna’s. I ate far too much.   16th I had my first exercise in a week- a chill 3 miles at Vasona park. Had a good conversation about "luck" being the confluence of opportunity and willingness. I’m having to unlearn my conditioning to refuse help and say no. I’ve managed to visit Mike every day - sometimes twice.   He's now progressed to wearing clothes instead of a gown.   I feel more optimistic as little by little he seems like his old self.   17th More looking at  places for Mike but also we hired house keepers to give Mike’s house a deep cleaning. Everything scrubbed and dusted – shining floors and porcelain. Nine hours!   One of the places we visited had a "respite" program that is per diem and includes everything. Small place with a view of the green foothills. I think we found it! I felt I could breathe.   Text: But that was short lived. I saw a text that Mike’ s appointment with the orthopedic surgeon was the next day- also my first day at work.   I called a million different numbers to reschedule but it was after hours on a holiday.   18th I got in touch with the social worker and moved the appointment. In my first meeting with my new boss, I explained my current reality. I have a ton of PTSD from ex emplover's mishandling communication  being complete assholes when I had some horrible life events (including my brother's suicide). My new boss was refreshingly kind. I’ll take it. The company sent a Windows laptop. I spent the morning making it work with my peripherals and the afternoon in compliance training.   19th I needed to go to the bank to make them aware of my Power of Attorney status - they said they had a "different" process and even though I had a notirized POA in my hand, their process could take 5 days.   But what about paying his bills?   The banker said those checks would probably bounce. Moral of the story? Don’t bank at Chase.   Not too many drawings this time. I hope to get through this and be daily again but I’m tired and being another person's advocate etc plus starting a job…well…it’s a lot.   More soon.

Valentine’s card plus a latte plus a hummingbird next plus a pizza and soda plus text: February 14th, 2025 V-Day   I was up early -partly because I'm having a hard time sleeping peacefully and part there is a lot to do.   I had to make calls to visit places for next phase care   I did find time to make Keri a card.   Also time for a latte before mikes PT.   And time to notice the humming bird nesting peacefully and safely under the eaves.   "A" met me at Mike’s house and we automated the lights and thermostat, cleaned closets, and discussed other ideas to make the house safer.   Keri gave me a cute and silly Valentine’s card and we went to visit Mike to send him off to sleep.   We had aspirations of something posh, but relaxing at the Garret with a pizza was perfect. More memorable than many outings. It's a love holiday. I felt really loved.

May is Mental Health Awareness Month—and grief is a very important aspect of mental health. Here are some of my favorite grief resources.

GrieveLeave > community built to support all losses. The Dinner Party > connects young adult grievers. Modern Loss > candid conversations about grief. What's Your Grief? > creative & practical grief education. OptionB > compassionate, everyday advice for grievers.

when you want to acknowledge the holidays instead of: happy holidays" Try: "I'm thinking of you, especially during the holidays" "I imagine this holiday is tough for you. How are you doing today?" "This might not be your best holiday ever, but I'm thinking of you and wishing you the best New Year possible @optionb x @SELFCARE IS FOREVERYONE
