Having community around you in the good times, and especially in the hard times, is not only a source of strength and comfort, but it truly is a necessity - it’s how we get through it all. The problem is, the further removed we are from our school years, the more difficult it can be to find and build those connections. Even though having something in common (the paranormal, for example) can kick start things, I wanted to share some tips with you all I’ve been collecting that I think are useful to integrate into our normal habits and routines in order to be more intentional in building community.

And those folks have been an incredibly valuable part of my grieving process.
