you get to feel and process this moment however you need to—grief, joy; overwhelming sadness, rage, happiness... a combination of all of the above. no one gets to dictate that for you.
a family lost a son, a father. emotions are running high, and heavy. be with whatever comes.

I wrote out some thoughts on how to make this moment a real turning point to bring about real change––and pulled together some resources to help young activists sustain the momentum by channeling their energy into concrete action. medium.com/@BarackObama/how-…

If a colleague seems anxious, don’t offer advice or quick fixes (“Have you tried essential oils?”) — or dismissals (“There’s nothing to be afraid of”). Do validate their experience, or share your own, when appropriate. s.hbr.org/3c8vMnG

Many of us are unsure when we’ll see our colleagues or clients again. We’re across the country or even the globe from our loved ones. And we’re facing new amounts of pressure at work and home. It’s normal to feel anxiety right now. s.hbr.org/2y9vq2a

Basic tasks that are always more complicated when alone with a toddler—shopping for groceries, dropping off laundry—are suddenly nerve-racking. Our ❤️s are with all the single moms at this time. 😞

Dear Jay, it’s June 10th, & today would have been our 30th anniversary. I hope you would be proud of the way I’ve lived my life & know you’d be proud of your girls who have grown into incredible women. I think you would like John, who knows there is room in my heart for you both.

When Niante came out to her mom, she was kicked out. But she found support and a new feeling of home at her high school. Today, she lobbies and works with legislators to make laws that protect LGBTQ youth. optionb.org/stories/i-dont-w…

I get lost in the suffering of others at times. I struggle to watch people I ❤️ cry. It’s called grief for a reason. 🤔Show up. Call. Hug. Remember goodness together. Don’t leave. @GoodGriefNJ @RevAmyGreene @optionb are kind of amazing resources. #empathy #notalone
So very sorry for your loss. Simply being present with them during their time of suffering is everything. @boissyad, you have a beautiful way in guiding these situations, advice?
