Hello! I’m a long time listener of The Summer Underground, short time reader of Emotion Lotion. I’m currently taking some psych courses to apply to grad school for art therapy. I’m a disabled artist whose dormant autoimmune condition was triggered by the loss of my emotional support dog. I deal with grief everyday, both through the losses of loved ones, but also grief pertaining to the person I was before my condition became disabling. On the subject of grief, my favorite song is “You” by Keaton Henson. Hearing the lyric “if you must die sweetheart/ die knowing your life was my life’s best part” felt like the key that unlocked the beginning of my emotional healing journey.

Pardon my ramblings. I just wanted to share how excited I am to find this substack, as grief is a huge part of my life. I look forward to reading whatever you choose to share!
