Always on my mind, forever in my heart.

Unfortunately, sometimes tragedy happens in life and these tragedies will take us back. You can never be prepared enough for some of the trials life throws your way.

One of the curveballs life throws your way is the loss of a loved one. Whether the loss was unexpected or expected, it still hurts and is a very painful process to work through. Death is hard to grieve because you have to fully understand that the person you love is not coming back. Never let anyone push you to grieve faster than you need to. Grievance is a process that should not be pushed.

Know that you are not alone! There are people around you who are there to hold you up when you just can't hold yourself up. Know that is OK to lean on someone! You are not expected to grieve the loss of someone you loved so much alone. There is a loving God that will never leave you alone, no matter the situation. Find peace in the face of trials for you are never alone!

There is a God that walks beside us through these losses. My God is always here and always comforting through the good and the bad. At times, it can be hard not to question why God took our loved ones away. In this time, you have to understand that his plan is much bigger than ours.

Hard times will come, I wish I could say the opposite. Cherish the memories and know that they are looking down on you! Try to find peace in the hard times, and do not have a hard heart! For you are much stronger than you think, and God will hold your hand always

With more people becoming aware of transgender and non-binary people, there have been a lot of questions circulating online and elsewhere about how to be more inclusive. Language is very important in making a space safer for trans and non-binary individuals. With language, there is an established and built-in measure of whether a place could be safe or unsafe. If the wrong language is used, the place is unsafe and shows a lack of education on trans and non-binary issues. With the right language and education, there can be more safe spaces for trans and non-binary people to exist without feeling the need to hide their identities or feel threatened for merely existing.
