Birding

Recommended by Catie

in response to Kat (they/them)

My beloved dad died less than three weeks ago. 10 days later, my mom’s dog also passed away far too young. Life just feels trashy and hard right now, and I miss my dad so much. How do you get through times like these? I’m not afraid of the grief and am feeling it daily, but it’s also feeling hard to do the other life stuff like wife, work, parent.

Just sharing what worked for me, but I started birding while grieving a family member. On the roughest days it gave me a simple task and reminded me that life continues to go on and can in fact still be beautiful.
