Today is the sixth day of our 31-day writing challenge! Let’s dive in!
ANNOUNCEMENT
BE INSPIRED
Anyone who has been with a loved one in the final moments of their lives will relate to Britt Decker‘s recent slice of life called “Tito.” Her grandfather passed away on February 15th, 2024. Her beautiful writing puts you in the moment as she copes with the everyday things (adulting) we still have to care for and worry about, even as we try to linger in our final moments with a loved one. The structure Britt uses in this post makes her writing even more moving.
SUPPORT
