"Listening to sad music can lead to beneficial effects such as regulation of negative emotion and mood as well as consolation. Such beneficial emotional effects constitute the prime motivations for engaging with sad music in everyday life (Taruffi & Koelsch, 2014)." Share your "Sad Song" below.

Two 50-something men in the isle of the grocery store talking about how hard they had it as children. Both men describing physical/emotional abuse from their mothers without naming it - trying to laugh it off all while nodding and understanding. People WANT to talk. We NEED community grief spaces.

Children can't/don't even fake LOOKING interested. Gen Alpha gives major cat vibes. I'm equally as proud of them for it as I am nervous when approaching 🫣🤣

Core Provincial Funding IS Community Grief Care. Time spent applying for grants is time taken away from doing the actual work. Every second counts. Every minute matters.

Here's to everyone who might be feeling disappointed, #grief, angry, guilty, or jealous as we ring in the new year. These feelings are important to acknowledge but don't seem to have the same PR as the "positive" feelings. Let's talk about that more in 2025.

Signing off, with this suggestion to maintain our peace of mind over these few days so filled with emotion & expectations. Create yourself a retreat space. Use it. Whether you're soaking up joy, breathing out sorrow, or calming your frustrations - take some mindful moments. Wishing us peace. K 🧡

I just heard a phrase that beautifully captures altruism: 'Plant a tree you're not going to sit under.' Seems like a nice, reflective way to end the week and head into the holidays.
