I’m extremely proud and humbled to be a part of #TheMeYouCantSee, a docuseries featuring intimate stories about mental health and emotional well-being from across the globe. It comes to @AppleTV on May 21, watch the trailer here. Special thanks to our brave grieving families <3
This timely docuseries explores the current state of the world’s mental health and emotional well-being through storytelling. Co-created by @Oprah and Prince Harry, #TheMeYouCantSee is about people, our experiences, and why we feel the way that we do. apple.co/TheMeYouCantSee
Nothing is solved or solvable: why deep #grief isn't about letting them go but rather taking them with us. centerforlossandtrauma.com/p…

New study: 141,000 bereaved Swedish teens & young adults. However psychiatric medication use changed after a parent’s death, rising, falling, or staying high, suicide risk was 3x higher than for those on few or none. As always, limitations apply link.springer.com/article/10…

It’s so much easier to be #vegan in rural Washington state than in rural Arizona. People here actually THANK vegans instead of looking at us like we have three heads or are some kind of idiot. Thanks @leavenworth_wa !

Thank you @leavenworth_wa for caring about others by having a light show in lieu of fireworks! It’s about time we started seeing this type of mature decision making that benefits so many and also the earth. Happy 4th from beautiful and wise Leavenworth.

Every experience leaves a trace in the brain. Learning, love, fear, joy, stress, conversation, sleep, trauma, & grief all shape neural connections. Every experience impacts the brain. Our brains are continually adapting to the lives we actually experience.

It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends on his not understanding it. #uptonsinclair
May this award be more than recognition.
May it be invitation.
And more than that, I hope we can begin building the kind of support worthy of those who bear the unbearable. #siff #asacredpausefilm #selahcarefarm

Our documentary won Best Doc at the Sedona International Film Festival this week. It’s one thing to play a Hollywood character in bereavement. It’s another thing to live it everyday. Thank you to all who entrusted us with their beloveds.

Sedona Int'l Film Festival update on the documentary about #SelahCarefarm - truly remarkable that grief has the attention of so many, and not just grief portrayed by actors. Real stories of real people missing their beloveds. #asacredpausefilm

Bereavement changes who you are; compassionate care changes how you survive it.

Finding neural correlates of grief doesn’t justify calling it pathology. Love, attachment, moral injury all have brain signatures-o/c neural correlates are common in all. Using neuroscience to police how long someone is allowed to mourn, IMO, is bad science & questionable ethics
My take on this is that it's a shit show: centerforlossandtrauma.com/p…
Creepy: AI companies trying to cash in on grief by peddling deepfakes of lost loved ones.
My view:
1)Human grief is normal/healthy/necessary
2)Price we pay for love
3)Cant/shouldnt be replaced by AI
4)Part of what keeps us human
