In the aftermath of loss, it's easy to get stuck in a loop of "what should have been." But growth only begins when you accept what is. A personal story.
Pro tip: If you're writing your post and want to add footnotes/citations to a substack post, you can do so by highlighting the part you want to add a footnote to, then going to top-right corner of the screen where you'll see " More ▾ ". If you click on that you'll get a drop-down window, which has " ∗ Footnote " as an option. Once you click on it you'll automatically get a footnote you can add your sources and commentary to. This is better not only because people can click on it in the text (which jumps them to the relevant footnote) and in the footnote (which jumps them to relevant part of the text), but also because people can hover with their mouse over the footnote number which creates a little box with the footnote text in it.
Very well written.
