If at first you don't succeed... give up?

How I'm gearing up for my worst Christmas yet

My mum died, so I started a newsletter

This is NOT advice on how to cope (unless it's helpful)

Is this as good as it gets?

Maybe love is the answer to my problems!

You don't know me (and neither do I)

Periods and grief really don't mix

Here's something you can do if you care about other people

In defence of bad patients

Is anyone else grieving like this?

Let's go round again

You are allowed to dance when you're grieving

This is why we will not be listening to men

The problem with caring isn't caring, it's capitalism

I have sometimes depended on the kindness of strangers

Now I understand why Cheryl Strayed did heroin

Something terrible is happening
