Very sound advice. I think I’m in the club, ticking a few boxes 💛✨

We should really get t-shirts. I fear they would feature obscenities NSFW though…

Oof, this resonates.

After 17 Mother's Days without my mother (who died in a car accident when I was 19), I have a lot of pain associated with this topic. It has gotten easier as the years have passed and I've moved further away from the initial site of trauma, but there's always a twinge of agony.

Sending love to all the Mother-less among us. Thank you for this invaluble resource Ryan.

Thank you so much, Liz. I know many of us in the club carry this guide around with us inside of our hearts and minds. It was an honor to speak with and for our club as I tried to share it with others.
