I could feel Tina Turner saying goodbye to us when I watched her documentary, but it’s still a shock. I hope, in the end, she got everything she needed and even more of what she wanted.

Let’s cancel the idea that “strong people” are stoic and uncaring. The strongest people I know are those who haven’t allowed hardship or trauma to extinguish their sense of wonder, their capacity for hope or their ability to love.

Our bodies are not designed to absorb and process this much violence, loss, and grief.
