"Hello --It is May 22nd and welcome to Wonderland Fellow Griever. — “You’ve just stepped Down the Rabbit Hole — where mental health meets madness after loss. This is your daily dose of truth, grief, and yes, just the right bit of madness.”

WEEK 4: Resilience & Reclamation

Day 22: Today’s truth is: "It's a poor sort of memory that only works backwards." Idea: Creating forward-looking memories.

Grief keeps us anchored in the past—the moments before, the final day, the last words. That's not wrong, but it can feel like we're trapped in a loop.

Today's quote gently nudges us toward a different kind of remembering, including forward memory. That's the legacy work. That's telling their story. That's inviting their memory into what comes next.

What does forward memory look like for you? It could be a journal, a tattoo, a foundation, or any other form that resonates with you. The choice is yours, and it's a way to honor their memory in a way that feels right for you.

Grief is a journey that takes us both backward and forward, and it's okay to live in both directions. It's okay to cherish the past and look forward to the future. You're not alone in this, and it's a part of the healing process.

So, remember, grief is not just about looking back. It's also about looking forward. That's your nugget for today.

Take a breath. Take what you need. leave the rest. And come back tomorrow because, remember, you're not broken—you're grieving. And you're not alone in this madness. ---I'll be right here Talk Soon."
