    Dana, you spoke for all moms of the class of 2021. The grief over the loss of celebrating all the little “lasts” of senior year as parents and watching the struggle of my senior has been overwhelming and crushing. Even more so because as a mom I feel a need to smile and be the positive one and try to point out all the good things in our lives despite this past year. I cried with you on your podcast today. It wasn’t cathartic because my kids were home but I feel the catharsis coming and hope it doesn’t happen in public 😉 Thank you for keeping that part in. It was real and helpful to know we are not alone.

    I am so glad you mentioned your grief over seniors!! My son graduated from college last year – University of Virginia. And I am still grieving his last semester of college. His graduation that I dreamed of attending. His school career is over, he never got to go back after Christmas. I thought I was crazy. You are so amazing. You have changed my life. Love you!!

    So much wisdom about grief messing up our ability to focus. Grief is pure emotion and requires a lot of time to slowly settle down. We can’t fight grief and “win” – instead we learn to live with it and adjust. But I had to laugh at myself when I realized that your grief over seniors was about those OTHER seniors – the young ones – and not referring to those of us who expect free coffee with our Whataburgers. Although, your comments apply just as well to the older seniors who didn’t get to do what they wanted to do in the long months of 2020 and often felt isolated and alone.
    Doing one little thing at a time is a fantastic suggestion! Today I filled a huge bag with odds and ends of things abandoned in the garage for no good reason. Didn’t have to think or decide – just one thing at a time. Will rinse-and-repeat when it’s time to put trash out to the curb. Am calmer and breathing easier already. Thanks, Dana!!! You rock!!

    I like to call those daily or routine mundane tasks that I can’t easily remember…… Non-Negotiables. It has a firm yet necessary feel to it. Also, my nephew didn’t get to graduate last year (he was NOT fazed) and today it hit me that I don’t have a Senior yearbook portrait of him & I lost it! Don’t feel bad about releasing a year long (plus) pressure. I feel like little things will flare up in all of us thru the rest of our lives over this so just know there’s no shame in joining the Pressure-Cooker Club. You are strong, beautiful, amazing & represent us sentimental types with perfection & support.
    Much Love from the Sip~

    It is a battle ( lightbulb moment ) love it! I think we all have the right to be emotional with what’s happening in our world it affects everyone in their own way.
