THOUGHT OF THE DAY:

“On funerals, loss, grief, friendship, and support:

It’s not about knowing what to say. It’s about being there when nobody knows what to say. The only thing people need to hear is, “You are not alone.” And that doesn’t require words. It just requires your presence.”

— James Clear
