Deb is one of my favorite bloggers… for lots of reasons. One big reason is her uncompromising honesty. She writes with humor and compassion, but never pretties up the raw truth. As she shares this story, I’d encourage you to follow along – and please, if you know people who are coping (or not) with loved ones suffering from mental illness, pass this along to them too.

What honest, heart wrenching but brilliant writing! This kind of tender but surgical honesty and wisdom gives me hope for me in this crazy anesthetitizd world.

Hello, Deej! Yes, her writing is beautiful. She doesn’t actually need me to promote her – but I do think there are people out there to read her stuff.

I want to have just the right words (also on your so-uplifting comment on “Is she even real?”) but they’ll take time to come to me.
Thank you. ♥

Well … just meet me for coffee in San Francisco on Saturday 10/10, and we can spend five minutes in mutual admiration and then an hour or two talking about interesting things… 🙂

I definitely encourage you to head on over to her site and read the whole series – I think it’s four posts long. Deeply moving, beautifully written, and ultimately truly heart-lifting.
