You have come to the right place, and we are glad you are here. This is a safe place to share stories of love and loss, devastating grief, exhausting care-giving, memorials, advanced directives, mourning, hope, and despair. We want to hear about about what you wish you had known or done differently, what you wish those around you had known or done differently, and what went right. We will never tell you to move on or find closure. "What cannot be said will be wept." Sappho

Goodbye June
Kate Winslet directs and stars in "Goodbye June," coming to Netflix on December 24. She assembled an all-star cast with Dame Helen Mirren as a mother in hospice, as her family struggles with grief and with long-buried resentments and fears.
Timothy Spall plays the husband who has no emotional vocabulary to express his feelings, and the adult children who struggle to process their own and find a way to support both parents are played by Winslet, Toni Collette, Johnny FLynn, and Andrea Riseborough. Flynn's character reads e.e. cummings' poem "if there are any heavens" aloud to his mother.
