It’s not too late to sponsor the Team Molly Benefit, donate an item/experience for our auction, or a ticket to a community member who wouldn’t otherwise be able to attend (all local teachers & school staff attend for free). Thank you from the bottom of our hearts 🙏. event.auctria.com/5ce9e876-1fb...

We’ve come a LONG way over the past five years. So many of you rallied around our family and have helped to shine Molly’s light throughout the world. To celebrate what would be Molly’s 18th birthday, our family is matching donations to the Molly Steinsapir Foundation up to $18k. mollysteinsapir.com

We’ve seen what can go wrong when the electorate is checked out, doesn’t understand who/what is on the ballot, and/or doesn’t vote. We have no agenda and make no endorsements. We’re going to have fun tomorrow and chat with the candidates in a relaxed setting. Join us! #teammolly #losangeles

Please don’t get heated in my comments if you see candidates who you oppose on the flyer. Your humble co-hosts are volunteers who invited ALL candidates to come and speak to the community. I believe in civic engagement and being informed about our government.

LA friends - come out and meet some of the folks who are asking for your vote this November. We’ll be at Palisades Recovery Coalition tomorrow from 11-2. I’ll be introducing the candidates AND bringing mimosas. Gathering on a Sunday during brunch hours isn’t complete otherwise🥂😉.

There is no election fraud in CA. Only sore losers and a harbinger of fuckery to come in the midterms and 2028. We’ll need to vote in unprecedented numbers so they can’t scream it’s rigged and refuse to leave. The real fraud and corruption is being perpetrated in the open by Trump & his family.

As seen in Pacific Palisades today 👇. We don’t need a spoiled Bratt who’s never had a job pretending to lead a city with a $14B budget. The idea is laughable. Spencer Pratt is no “hometown hero.” We don’t want him! Most of Pratt’s supporters are MAGA, Trump loyalists like him.

I’ll hug my boys even tighter (as they wriggle away) and give thanks to God for them. I must have done something right to be Mom to these 3 exquisite beings. Happy Mother’s Day to all the mamas out there, especially those for whom today is painful. I’m sending you love.

Given the choice of never having Molly or having her for 12 years, it wouldn’t have been a choice. Today, I’ll focus on the gift of being Molly’s mom on Earth for 12 years and loving her forever.

Motherhood is simultaneously the most magical & arduous journey. We experience love that’s deeper than the oceans, more vast than the universe. It expands our souls. It also presents us with our greatest challenges & vulnerabilities. I represent a mother’s worst fear because my daughter is dead.

Kaye Steinsapir @kayesteinsapir.bsky.social · 10/05/2026
My mom and I were never close - emotional intimacy was impossible with her - but I never imagined she’d unravel and there’d be nothing anyone could do about it. Expressing this pain, which is exacerbated on Mother’s Day, makes it a bit lighter. Thanks for indulging me if you’ve read this far.

I haven’t seen my mother in over 10 years. Not for lack of trying. She’s so far gone that we probably won’t be together again in this lifetime. Mourning the living weighs heavily on the soul. Untreated addiction and mental illness have robbed our extended family of so much.

Same as always but the holiday heightens the delicate balance of my high wire act. The sea, sun and some nice wine will be involved! This day has been hard since my mom went off the rails while I was pregnant with Eli. It wasn’t the 1st or 2nd time but it was worse and inflicted permanent damage.

Kaye Steinsapir @kayesteinsapir.bsky.social · 10/05/2026
This was taken on Mother’s Day in our backyard in the Palisades. My life’s greatest gift is being their mom. Nothing can ever take that away. I love you, Molly, Nate and Eli. Carrying the sorrow and longing for my girl while being present and enjoying my boys is today’s mission.

This time of year hits differently for grieving parents. Mother’s Day and Father’s Day. Social media is full of prom, graduation and wedding pics. It hurts. Yet, we can’t avoid it nor do we want to (at least not all the time). I loved this conversation with Colin Campbell and hope you enjoy it too.

It was an honor to sit with Colin Campbell and talk about our love and grief for our children who died, Ruby, Hart and Molly. Colin’s book, “Finding The Words,” was one of many that I read during year that we lost Molly, and one of few that deeply resonated. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

Between us, we’ve recently lost 4 beloved pets (thankfully, not in the fire). Both our families are on a difficult journey to return home to Pacific Palisades. With over 90 percent of our street obliterated, progress is slow. The road ahead is long.

Five years ago, in the middle of a global pandemic, our daughters were involved in an accident from which his survived but mine did not. Since then, our town burned down. His family lost their home and all their possessions. We live across the street but ours was spared. youtu.be/FrLUpaxmalY?...

If you were horrified watching elected leaders run & scramble because of gun violence, just imagine how my daughter Jaime felt in school running from an active shooter before she was killed. Now, become a part of the solution & only vote for people determined to address gun violence in America.

Have you felt the presence of your loved one after they passed? What do you think happens after we die? Has spirituality brought you a sense of peace or comfort? Or do you think it’s over when we close our eyes for the final time? All answers welcome.

In the early days after we lost Molly, I was grappling with what happens after we die? Bereft, my husband wondered, “what if it all just goes black and there’s nothing else?” I couldn’t bear the thought and posed the question online. The answers were fascinating and moving.
