I’ve made the hard decision to wind down this account at year’s end. I was hopeful when Twitter became X that maybe the impact on my #griefcommunity here wouldn’t be so bad but I almost never see the ones I follow anymore. The algorithm just dumps MAGA content day and night. 1/2

I hope you will follow me on Instagram instead and keep our conversation going! You can find me @widowedparentproject there. I’ve so loved meeting so many of you online (and even a few in-person) and this account helped me face so much of my own grief. Thank you. 2/2

My son said that one of the things he misses about his mum at Christmas is the Belgian cookies she used to make. He said it felt horrible to think he'd never taste them again. So we decided to fix that. I found her old recipe, and he made them. A Christmas gift. #Grief #Healing

Have you followed me on @widowedparentproject on Instagram yet? I’m shutting this account down on 1/1/25. Thank you #griefTwitter.
