Today marks 11 years since I watched my dad die. 11 years since I tried to resuscitate him during cardiac arrest. 11 years since I first thought it was all my fault. A 🧵on #grief, #loss, and #healing 1/19ish

The light of my life, the most beautiful and incredible Mama, passed away. Her resilience unparalleled and her strength a force to be reckoned with. Through sheer will, she outlasted her prognosis from a brutal metastatic cancer many times over to stay with us as long as possible

of my mom’s diagnosis. It was a space of connection that broke through a bit of the isolation and always reaffirmed my decision to leave medical school to be with my mom. Supporting her through the last 4 years of her life was the most devastating privilege and worth every minute

A med school classmate just graduated with her MD, overcoming health challenges and family loss. She’s in urgent need of remote work (health benefits are crucial!) if anyone knows of immediate openings, would really appreciate any leads. She’s so hardworking, clearly resilient -

Nothing like female friendship. The support??? It’s like you have 5 extensions of yourself but without the self doubt and insecurity, cause your gals are gonna remind you daily that you’re worth everything and more. They’re gonna uplift you every chance they get. Sisterhood.
