I am speechless, humbled, and honored. Thank you, @StephenAtHome, for believing in The @ModernLoss Handbook. You are, and have always been, a mensch.
A new book from an old friend. Grief is hard to talk about, but this book does it beautifully. modernloss.com/the-modern-lo…

I wrote an essay for @modernloss about finding your way back to yourself after loss. Huge thanks to @rebeccasoffer for the opportunity and to @iuliamdb @lelyse522 and @lsteel for setting the stage so selflessly. I love you guys. modernloss.com/after-my-husb…

A must-read.
My wife ⁦@MaryKForrest⁩ wrote an essay about grieving our son Henry that is sensitive, bold and above all brave, writing about the hardest thing a parent can ever do. The Week I Spent With Our Son Henry Before He Died: Essay today.com/parents/essay/mary…

And fall, and try to get up and stumble, and maybe then fall flat on your emotional ass again, and rinse and repeat…but hopefully, eventually, slowly, toward rising. #flyeaglesfly

Don't mean nothing that @richardmarx gets it. What do you miss calling someone (or being called)?

I just learned the @ModernLoss newsletter is a 'handpicked' featured publication on @substack. This means a whole lot to me and I hope you check it out (for free!) Lots of previous issues to read there, too. modernloss.substack.com/

I am flabbergasted to learn from @OprahDaily that @GayleKing’s top 2 books from 2022 were “The Light We Carry” by @MichelleObama & “The Modern Loss Handbook” by, um, me. How is this real life. Thank you, Gayle. 💙💙💙oprahdaily.com/entertainment…

Co-founder of @ModernLoss @RebeccaSoffer, had been planning to write a guide to coping with grief. Then the pandemic hit, and the need felt especially urgent. So she wrote it. In our podcast episode of "Can We Talk?", we speak with Rebecca about grief: bit.ly/3Xy0D61
