I just wanted to take a moment to say Happy Easter. I feel very grateful to have you all in my life. To me you are family. Feel free to message me today about anything. The good, the bad, the ugly and everything in between. Sending lots of love and big hugs to every one of you. I love you guys. I’m here for you all. As Toni said you are not alone. 🐣🐰🐇❤️

Hi Toni I have been working on writing Ramsey’s obituary and I would like to include kind of a PSA if you will about the mind and suicide. Do you have any concise suggestions or ideas that I could include? Thank you

As we move into this season—whether you’re honoring Easter, Passover, or simply feeling the shift that comes with this time of year—I want to acknowledge something real: Holidays can bring up a lot in grief. They highlight what’s missing.They remind you of what used to be.They can feel heavy when the rest of the world feels… celebratory. And I want you to know—you’re not doing this wrong if it feels that way. But here’s the reframe I want to offer you: This season is not just about what’s gone. It's also about what continues. Connection doesn’t end. Love doesn’t disappear. It changes form. So instead of asking,“Why does this hurt so much?” Try asking,“What does this moment make me remember… and how can I honor that?” That might look like: - Speaking their name out loud - Keeping one small tradition alive - Letting yourself feel both gratitude and sadness in the same breath - Or simply not forcing yourself to be anywhere you don’t have the capacity to be You don’t have to perform your way through this season. You get to experience it honestly. ****Now, something really important as our community continues to grow: We are adding 3 more support groups each week. As we all get to know each other more, these groups will begin to focus on specific types of loss—so you’re not just supported, you’re understood at a deeper level. Because healing doesn’t just happen in isolation—it happens in community. Being in a room (even a virtual one) where people get it without you having to explain everything… that’s where shifts happen. That’s where identity starts to rebuild. I also want to personally invite you to consider upgrading to Premium Membership. Even if you commit to just 90 days. There’s no pressure to stay forever.But give yourself the chance to fully step into the support you came here for. Because this work is about more than just getting through the day. It’s about: - Learning how to grieve with more love than pain - Rebuilding a new identity for yourself and your life - Staying connected to your person—not less connected, but more - And finding your place inside a community that truly sees you

I’ve been wishing to have a dream with him so bad. I heard dreams could be visitations, I also heard that your soul detaches from your body when you’re dreaming. Unfortunately, my dream last night wasn’t a good dream! He was struggling and I wanted to help him and held him on my chest and tried to comfort him. I hope he’s at peace. I can’t bear the fact that he’s still suffering! He ended his life and I hope he’s in a good place. He was such a wonderful child! He taught me how to be a mom and he’s now teaching me how to love without his physical presence. I pray one day I get to see him again! 💗🙏🏻

What with being 50% Happy & 50% Sad at BEST, even during the BEST of times, I am going to quietly set down my suitcase 🧳 filled with the 50% Sadness and leave it right here in this safe space…..just for today, if I may….to take refuge from it’s wrath, for just one day, this day, March 31st. Today is special, and my intention is to go forth, like that of half-pair of scissors, with my remaining suitcase 🧳 filled with a pure & untainted 50% Happiness because my daughter, Moon 🌙 was born on this day, 19 years ago! And at this very time!!! OMG she was born at 1:32am and that’s right now!! 😮 Wow, I guess that’s how I know I’m supposed to share this with you guys. Ha! She’s turning 19, has her learner’s permit and hopes to have her full-on driver’s license in time to drive us both to the retreat in CT. 🤞 She has taken her time with getting her license, and for good reason: She had emergency heart surgery in Oct. ‘24, then her mother died of a heart attack the very next month in November, then right before Christmas her girlfriend (first love, big deal) went from kind to cruel and broke up with her (worst possible timing). Anybody else love the holidays? With being adopted at birth and homeschooled still to this day (taking her first college class at Valencia College in the Fall), Moon🌙 has become, and continues to become a beautiful & unique soul. She bought a new car today, and the whole dealership loved her, I mean they loved her! Here’s a photo with her salesperson before we left, giving her flowers & much needed hugs. Today, for her birthday, she has requested 3 things: #1. To go to breakfast at First Watch brunch restaurant, #2. To go to a piercing studio for an additional ear piercing and a belly button piercing (she’s already made herself an appointment for 3:00pm) 😳, #3. Lastly, she wants to go to Hooter’s before all of their locations close!!! (they are going out of business and she said this is her last opportunity to ever know what Hooter’s was like), so I said “OK”! 👍😆 I promise, I will be back to pick up my other suitcase 🧳. Thank you for literally letting me park my sadness here, just for a while, and I hope you can share in my happiness, joy and sheer delight in celebration of 19 years basking in the warm glow of 🌙.
