Yes. Imagine if we as humans greeted each human with the respect they deserve. So glad the medical team treated you better than...😔 Tressie McMillam Cottom's essay on this subject in "Thick" was an eye-opener but then, not really. I didn't grow up in the ash on forehead tradition either but I remember when a young flat mate tragically died years ago, saying to people " I want to wear ash on my forehead to show people a life has been drastically altered, a life is dust". This week has been hard yes? Watching extraordinary racist reporting of the war in Ukraine; upper NSW has disappeared under water, and they're evacuating outer areas of Sydney
Lent reminds me there is a place for grief and you Marcie, give us solace here. Thank you.💜🙏💜
I know that Tressie piece your talking about and I think we should wear ashes as part of grieving. Maybe people would say trite things to those that mourn.
Loved this!!! Thanks for sharing your experience and how we can all learn from it.
Thank you 🙏🏾

Going to doctors. The anxiety. Thank you for naming it.
