thank you so much - again - for writing down what is happening in my head and heart and algorithm. i haven't cried like i cried yesterday since i first saw the tiny body bags in the arms of screaming palestinian parents. i couldn't stop crying. my own babies - with their red hair - brought me tissues and covered me with blankets and sat with me until i could get ahold of myself. like so many times in the past 500 ish days, i held on to them so tightly it nearly hurt. then we made glue gobs with glitter on them and i cleaned the floor for a long time. sending love, not knowing what else to do.
Thank you for putting words to something that I feel deeply but can not express. I wish for all the mothers in the world to unite and understand this can not keep happening.
Heartbreaking. My mother died in late 2022 and I miss her every day. But there have been so many days since Oct 7, 2023 that I am so thankful that she isn’t here to see the horrors.

Bess, thank you. I dont even know how or what to do with my heart but your words always soothe me in one way or another.

Words for when there are none. ❤️
Crying. Thank you for articulating exactly why.
Crying with you for all of our world. Your gift is reminding us always of humanity. Please don't stop.
I am regularly grateful for your writing, but never so much as this today. Thank you.
Thank you for expressing what I cannot. Weeping with you.
So beautiful. You are always able to capture what I feel in my heart but could never articulate. I was crying reading this. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you. I needed this cry.
Thank you. This is everything we've been feeling. So utterly gutted.
Beautiful, thank you
Thank you, Beth. So powerful.
Truly heartbreaking — thank you so much for putting your gifts toward sharing this with all of us.
