Sending heaps of love of course along with the confirmation that cooking and feeding people is a great way to -- I was going to say, to overcome, but that's not what I mean. No, it's a great way to embrace a tragedy and make it part of you and be strengthened by it. God bless you, Nome!

Thank-you Kirsten. It's all an unknown path, to walk a step af a time. I'm trying to avoid “should” and “ought to” judgements and to simply feel my way.

🩷That is the best grace that you can give yourself.

Losing someone you love is devastating, but food affirms life and the living. The close connection to the earth and regeneration brings us back into the world. I hope you continue to draw strength from everything that connects us to life and hope.

Sorry for your loss. Cooking and sharing meals is a remedy that helps push through the days, whilst still carrying the pain or the burden of events.
