Dear Ones,
Every life is precious.
- Those of us sheltered in place.
- Those of us on the frontlines, risking our lives as we serve and care for COVID infected patients.
- Those who have lost their lives and the grieving families who love them.
- Those of us who have lost our jobs and livelihoods.
- Those of us who have always been impacted by racism, experiencing in a very real way, the disproportionate devastation and death in our own families and communities.
- Those of us who are pregnant or bringing a new baby home who are without our most basic need - support.
As the COVID-19 pandemic increases in scope and devastation, many of us are feeling the weight of it in a new way. The need for extra support is just as important, if not more so, than in the first weeks. We may feel ok on the surface, but still hold feelings of fear, grief and anxiety inside. We need a place to be able to share what is heaviest on our hearts and allow our feelings to be expressed, heard and validated. Even grief, when expressed, becomes lighter to carry.
