Hello Lovelies! 🌸

Thank you so much for stopping by my bio!

So, I just want to take a moment to tell you how incredibly proud I am of you for being here today. It’s no small feat. 🌻 I want you to know you are doing great, no matter if everything else makes you think otherwise! You Are Amazing! 🌟

 ─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ───

Please, if I’m online, don’t hesitate to reach out. If I’m offline, feel free to leave me a message, and we can find a time to connect. I'm so glad you’ve made it here. 😊

💛If you are currently having crisis thoughts *wraps you hugs if okie* I want you to know that I care deeply about you.I know it may feel like you’re in a hopeless place, but you are not alone.

While 7 Cups isn’t a crisis site and listeners dont have the right training, I want to share some resources that could offer you some help or support:

Please take a moment to read this: https://metanoia.org/suicide/

Once you read that please reach out to someone anyone, Family, friend, mentor, school, counselor, church, hotline

 ─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ───

Friendly Reminders:

🌻 Maybe some things don’t get better, but we do. We grow stronger. We learn to live with the messiness and adapt to what we can’t change. We may not always be fully okay, but we’re here, trying our best—and that’s worth celebrating too. 🎉

🌻 Your feelings are valid, and you have every right to express them. It’s okay to feel deeply, and remember that you won’t always feel the same way you do right now.

🌻 Mistakes are part of being human, and every choice you make, every feeling you have, makes sense in the bigger picture of your life. Someone else, in your shoes, would likely feel just the same.

🌻 And most importantly, love yourself, speak yourself, because:

🌻"Life gets hard, and it gets messed up,

When you give so much, but it’s not enough,

When the highs are too high, and the lows are too low,

Don’t let it kill you—don’t let it break your heart." ❤️

🌻 Healing does not mean the damage never existed. It means the damage no longer controls our lives

 ─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ───

Let’s Walk Together:

Sometimes, being human can feel heavy. Life can feel overwhelming, and the weight of our thoughts can be too much. Whether it's panic, sadness, anger, frustration, or numbness—you don’t have to face it alone. I will not have all the answers, but dark places are so much less scary when you’re not alone.

 ─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ─── 

With love,

Ezra, (Ez, essie, estre, Z, zar, zaresoaus, fai, starsie, stars, cool grandma)

Día de los Muertos ( Day of the Dead)
Grief & Loss / by CaringEzra
Last post
 November 21st
...See more Hello everyone, how's it going? Over the past few days many people have been celebrating Día de los Muertos or Day of the Dead. The Day of the Dead is celebrated from October 31st to November 2nd (depending on where you are) and primarily in Mexico and other countries in Latin America. The holiday is a vibrant and joyous celebration of the lives of those who have passed.  It is a day every year that we remember our loved ones with warmth and love. What It Is All About: Day of the Dead is a celebration that our loved ones who have passed continue to be part of our lives, and we can keep their memory alive by honoring them in a special way. Families gather together to welcome the souls of their loved ones for a reunion.  How people Celebrate:  Families set up ofrendas in their homes or at cemeteries. These altars may be decorated with photos of their loved ones, marigold flowers, candles, and offerings of their favorite foods and drinks. These elements invite the spirits to come and share in the feast. Setting out items that our loved ones enjoyed in life like musical instruments, books, or anything they cherished. The belief is that these items help them enjoy their visit with us once more. Some people will decorate skulls.  Sugar skulls are bright, colorful, and often personalized with the names of loved ones. They are a reminder that life and death are both part of this world. Many people will gather to share stories and food. Families gather to share stories, laugh, eat, and remember good times about the people they have lost. People also gather together to sing, dance, go to parades, and go to grave sites to celebrate the day. Why It Might Resonate: For those of us navigating grief, the Day of the Dead offers a meaningful way to stay connected with those we've lost. The celebrations acknowledge grief but also remind us of the joy and love that never fades for our loved ones. It is a reminder that our loved ones’s are cherished and remain with us. Even if this isn’t part of your own cultural background, there can be comfort in adopting some of these practices. Creating a small altar, lighting a candle, or dedicating a day to celebrating your loved one’s life can be healing. I'd love to hear your thoughts or if any of you have experiences with the Day of the Dead!             What's your experiences with celebrating Day of the Dead?             How do you honor and remember your loved ones? Sending peace and love to everyone here. 💛 Learn More here! [https://englewood.macaronikid.com/articles/67219ae00d58f81f16ec5e35/d%C3%ADa-de-los-muertos-5-day-of-the-dead-traditions-explained]

Supporting Someone Going Through Grief🌻
Grief & Loss / by CaringEzra
Last post
 October 22nd
...See more Hey everyone! I hope you are doing well. Today we are going to talk about how we can help a friend or anyone through grief!🌸 Grief is a very personal and complex experience, and it can be really difficult to know how best to support someone who’s going through it. It's hard to accept that you can't take their pain away, but your presence is more important than it seems. 🌺 It’s okay if you don’t know what to say. Just saying you are sorry or reaching out even if you don’t hear back so they are not alone can mean a lot. Your presence, phone calls, letters, can be comforting and reassuring. Nobody should go through grief alone. ☔️ Sometimes people are afraid to talk and ask questions because they are worried it will make your person more emotional. Many people who are going through grief want to talk about their loved one and need to tell their story over and over to someone who can listen patiently. There is nothing wrong with being emotional or crying. You can sit with your friend though those emotions 💟 It's okie to say the person’s name (unless they say otherwise). Some people really want to hear their loved one’s name. It hurts so much more when no one talks about the person they lost. 🦋 As a friend you might want to help out! However, Instead of saying, “let me know what I can do”, just go ahead or offer to help with specific tasks. 🐳 ...drop off a meal ...help with the kids ...make phone calls, organize the mail or bills Realize that the grief journey is ongoing and is different for everyone. Some people need time off while others need to return to work, some like group support while others may want to read, etc. Let the person know it is okay to grieve in their own way. They can make those judgments, not you. 🧩 It can be a scary and overwhelming experience and can be hard to know where it is okie to turn for support. You can help get your friend connected to support. Take their lead but also let them know where they can get support if wanted like support groups, therapy, books, others going through grief, etc. 🪴 While we probably have the best intentions it can be important to educate yourself a bit and be mindful of your words. Some things probably want to avoid saying to your friend: He's in a better place You need to move on I know how you feel Everything happens for a reason Be strong How are you 🛻 There are going to be special dates in the future that need to be mindful of needing grace and extra support. Anniversary of the loss, birthday, wedding, anniversary, holidays may be very hard days and bring lots of emotions. Sometimes helping make new traditions if appropriate can be nice.🌊 Be a friend for the long run. I think that support often disappears after the first month or so.. Grief doesn't have a deadline nor does it stop after a month. Keep writing notes, meals, letters, whatever way you have found to support your person, keep doing it. Keep remembering and talking about the person who died. Even though they are no longer living, they are still an important part of their life.🌧️ Everyone has different needs and wants! Some of these points made will not be helpful for your friends and that is okie. Take time to listen and adapt to your person. 👾 Don’t worry about getting it “right.” Just showing up with kindness and care is what matters most. Your love and compassion will go a long way in helping your person feeling supported during such a difficult time.🦄 Sending love to everyone who’s grieving or supporting someone through grief. You’re not alone, and you are seen and appreciated. 🌷 Discussion questions: How have you helped someone in grief?💗 How do you wish someone would have helped you?💖 Are there anything that you have found unhelpful? 💕 (resources used NAMI)

...See more Hey, lovelies! 💖 How are you all doing today? I hope you're taking gentle care of yourselves.  I’ve been thinking a lot lately about how we navigate tough moments especially with grief, and I thought it might be nice to start a little mini-series all about grief. I recently heard this idea of the grief alphabet and thought it would be nice to reflect on what I have been learning and share it with all of you (: I would love for you to join in! I’ll be sharing a few letters each week, and it would be great if you feel like sharing your own thoughts, experiences, or even just your presence along the way.  You are not alone in your journey of grief.💕 Lots of love <3 Ezra
