I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again and again—@splitlipthemag is the gift that keeps on giving. Thank you for always being such an amazing support!

Wow.

🥰💕

Kelly, this made me so happy! I met you at HippoCamp several years ago and it’s a joy to see you comment on my piece. Such a departure for me from my usual grief writing. It was a fun one to write (I love writing with constraints) so I’m extra touched that you found it soul-nourishing to read. 🩷

Beautiful review by @eileenvcollins.bsky.social of The Full Catastrophe: All I Ever Wanted, Everything I Feared by @caseymulliganwalsh.bsky.social www.thesunlightpress.com/2025/06/29/t...

Wherever You Go, There You Are On rediscovering ourselves in beautiful Spain and seeing our departed loved ones everywhere

Ever see a loved one walking on the street ahead of you? No biggie, right?

What if I told you he’d been gone for 26 years?

Nope, not strange at all.

This month’s edition of Embracing the Full Catastrophe explores this phenomenon, our travels in Spain, & so much more. I hope you’ll take a look.

Spend some time with our ✨ April Issue 💫 before it hits the archive tomorrow!

Horrors!

Jackie, I enjoyed chatting with you at HippoCamp (miss it so) and was excited to see your book release this year (we’re book launch buddies!). Thank you so much for your kind words and for sharing.

This is an amazing piece of flash nonfiction. Can't-miss reading.

I had no idea when I wrote this piece, "Still," about the death of my beautiful son that it would live forever (or what seems like it). So now Eric and his big energy, his light, live on too. 🩷 Thanks so much to @short-reads.org or giving it another round.
