Thank you Kimberley for sharing your loss. I know about the impact of loosing your mum. I feel even more connected now to our mission.

I am so, so sorry to hear.

And - I didn't know your mum, but I have been reading the terrific work of her daughter for a good while now, and if it's an indicator of what a decent and planet-sized-brained person she was, she was incredible indeed.

Thank you for what you do, and I'm sorry this is such a rough time for you. (And I hope you can take exactly as much time as you need, and maybe a bit more time, with no pressure to get back to things over here. We'll all wait - and we *want* to wait, too.)

Dear Kim, I'm so sorry. Unexpected is different, too. "Waves" is right, that's how I experienced it (same club). And it seems like you're already doing what I remember best, being borne up by people that appeared as if from nowhere. I send a big hug. Richard

I'm so sorry to hear the news. Thanks for sharing the notes that you received in the form of the newsletter! I've (fortunately) never faced any close people pass away yet, and I have had so much anxiety over what to say or do when my friends have had to face it.

Please do take care of yourself! Warm wishes from Uppsala. /sachiko

What a beautiful life! I’m touched by her passions for education and painting and especially the fortune cookie story! 😂 May you be held by much love during this tender time.
