There is profound love and compassion and vulnerability and clarity in all that you write, Elizabeth, speaking for those in the city of angels who have no voice during this time of grief and loss as well as for those who love California and grieve from far away and feel relief seeing clear the blue sky above Los Angeles and very little wind. Sending love always.
Dearest Elizabeth. Every day I call Eden and ask her how she is and is she safe. Every day she says she is. The worry is constant, can't be helped. Mothers worry about their chicks, as my mother would say.
The suffering is immense. And so is the outpouring of love and support. I don't know how to hold both. But I try.
Comforting to know that you and yours are safe. This world feels most unreal anymore, but together, united in love, a community can be knit. We can keep hope alive, a way of helping all that have lost so much. Forget about next week, the next four years, we must live around the morass, but we definitely will not allow ourselves to become a part of it. I truly believe they will suffocate themselves; small minds have a way of doing themselves in. Keep safe in the harbor of friendship, dear Elizabeth. We will always be tried, but united we stand firm for all that is good. Hugs to sweet Sophie, and a hug for you too. ❤️
I think you're right that the parents of children with disabilities are more familiar with grief, but each experience with grief is different, and it can also make it harder, grief on top of more grief. I'm glad you guys are safe, and helping others is one of the best ways of coping with grief (in my humble opinion). Please stay safe. Sending love and hugs woman.
Continued love and light, prayerful thoughts to you and yours. Gratitude for continuing to reach out and provide info with the profound empathy you exhude. Many blessings.
thank you for another valuable list of resources. Passing along to a facility where a family member resides. I’ve seen their garage, and it’s FULL of items that they might be willing to donate.
Thank you, Elizabeth. You help me see beyond myself.

Beautiful and true. So true. With love and thanks, Louise
