With concerts cancelled, most stores closed, many of us have time right now.
There are a lot of people suffering from isolation–grief, addiction, mental illness. Since many have asked what they can do, and what we can all do is reach out to one person per day.
At least one person per day.
Dig deeper than the usual, “How are you?” Although you can start there. Have a real conversation.
People who are all alone will appreciate the reach out. Those who are struggling will know someone cares. Old friends will love catching up.
If each of us does that, we create a community safety net of caring.
This is a great idea. Thanks!

My son also used writing and rapping to make it through his mental issues. He was murdered Feb. 25th 2017 and after his death my daughter handed me a notebook full of his writing she had found in his room. Their was a letter written that was titled “unspoken” and written to Mom. It was all about how much he loved me and appreciated all I had done for him. It was like a letter from the grave. I shared it with a couple of my grief groups and they loved it. Mary
Oh Mary. All losses if a child are heartbreaking but that one also carries different challenges and complexities. I have the song “forgive me momma”. I know you are grateful to have that song. I am grateful for you. https://annemoss.com/2016/06/04/forgive-momma-charles-aubrey-rogers/
