10. Oh my god, crimycarny

Feb 2022

words can't express the grief I feel for you.

This period (TFG, COVID) has been devastatingly hard on young people. The more sensitive and aware the harder, I think.

I just had to ask my 29 year daughter whether she felt she was at risk of self-harm, the other night in a call. Was terrified to say "suicide" out loud.

I hope you can find some healing therapies. I imagine this will be a lifelong journey for you and your family.

I wonder if Jamie Raskin's new book could provide some healing.

MSNBC will also have a special on his story on Sunday, 2/6.

We are all with you, crimey.

Holding you in my heart.
