Co-founder of Modern Loss Rebecca Soffer, had been planning to write a guide to coping with grief. Then the pandemic hit, and the need felt especially urgent. So she wrote it. In our podcast episode of "Can We Talk?", we speak with Rebecca about grief: bit.ly/3Xy0D61

I am flabbergasted to learn from Oprah Daily that Gayle King’s top 2 books from 2022 were “The Light We Carry” by Michelle Obama & “The Modern Loss Handbook” by, um, me. How is this real life. Thank you, Gayle. 💙💙💙oprahdaily.com/entertainment/…

Still hard to come up with a response to that one!

IYKYK. (And page 206 of The Modern Loss Handbook has lots of ideas for how to spend it.)

"Nobody gets through this life unscathed…but then you’re left with a choice: are you gonna let your grief drown you? Or are you gonna face it and come through the other side?" -- Harrison Ford as Paul. I'm a really big fan of everything about 'Shrinking.'

I just learned the Modern Loss newsletter is a 'handpicked' featured publication on Substack. This means a whole lot to me and I hope you check it out (for free!) Lots of previous issues to read there, too. modernloss.substack.com

Don't mean nothing that Richard Marx gets it. What do you miss calling someone (or being called)?

And fall, and try to get up and stumble, and maybe then fall flat on your emotional ass again, and rinse and repeat…but hopefully, eventually, slowly, toward rising. #flyeaglesfly

Hang in there, team. It’s nearly Spring.

When “very cool” + “grief” intersect. And how can they not, with Kate James, Stevenson Waltien, Myq (Parenthetical) Kaplan Liz Glazer, ben, Moulin Rouge The Musical - Broadway’s John Cardoza & Brian freaking d’Arcy James involved?! Tickets here for The Modern Loss Variety Hour: bit.ly/3YU1qhn

A must-read.

Here’s to the women doing meaningful work at every possible level—even when they don’t even realize it. #InternationalWomensDay
