“Hello --It is May 9th and welcome to Wonderland Fellow Griever. — “You’ve just stepped Down the Rabbit Hole — where mental health meets madness after loss. Let’s get real, together. This is your daily dose of truth, grief, and yes, just the right bit of madness.”

WEEK 2: Madness & Acceptance

Day 9: Today’s truth is: "Why, sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast." Idea: Rebuilding belief in hope.

After loss by suicide, hope can feel offensive. Or even dangerous. Like you’re betraying your grief by reaching for more.

But maybe hope isn’t a lie. Maybe it’s a like muscle — one you can stretch without obligation - one that over time, can become strong again. While practicing hope may indeed sound mad, I want to challenge you to do that. To allow it to show up, even consider looking for it -- maybe even just a glimmer because that's all we need to remember it's there sometimes.

Today, think of one impossible thing you want to believe again... That joy is still possible. That your life has purpose. That your loved one's love lives on.

You don’t have to fully believe it yet. Just name it. That naming? That’s how hope begins.

So, that's all for now...that's the nugget to carry today

Take a breath. Take what you need. leave the rest. And come back tomorrow because, remember, you're not broken—you're grieving. And you're not alone in this madness. ---I'll be right here Talk Soon."
