This popped up in my feed this morning and it’s really hard not to believe in a Higher Power when things like this happen. I belong to a Nar-Anon group of people who’s addicted loved ones have died. I started writing my Substack essays on Grief & the 12 Steps after the loss of my husband and son. Some of us in my Nar-Anon group are talking about starting a writers’ group to encourage each other to use writing and sharing of our stories for our own and each other’s healing. We meet on line, and I didn’t think we would be writing during our meetings, but then I saw this! I’m going to suggest we work something similar into our meetings. and I hope to join one of your sessions soon. Thank you.

Omg yes! I absolutely love this. So glad this found you at the right time. Even just 10 minutes to work on writing our hard stories, especially in the safety and company of others doing the same, can be so powerful and freeing. The work you’re doing is profound, Donna. So important to be able to hold this space for yourself and now you’re doing it for others. Incredible. Thanks for sharing with me.
