Words (and Acts) of Comfort
This is a space for people to share words of comfort for survivors and for those carrying trauma-related loss. It feels important to have a place where we can show up for one another — gently, honestly, and without needing to have the “right” words.

Look through these teachings and prayers, and find something to take with you. (description here)
