Every year I add more grief to my calendar and it’s getting heavy

Lately I’ve been noticing my calendar filling up with dates tied to people I’ve lost. Birthdays, the day they passed - ( I can’t imagine widowers on top of that )
Because as time goes on, that list is only going to grow. And I don’t know if that’s healthy or even sustainable. At some point it feels like every week/month is tied to grief, on top of the birthdays and holidays for people who are still here.
Even worse if you come from a large family

On the surface, this feels like a half-step, not a full move Hard to say where this lands long term. At least from my perspective.

If you zoom out, the signal is clear, the strategy less so That part stands out.

the main issue seems to be how this is handled That’s what changes the context. Let’s see what happens next. That’s just my read on it.

there’s a gap between the message and the outcome which explains why reactions are split That’s just how it reads to me.

From a practical angle, the intention might be solid, the rollout less so which is why this is getting picked apart Others will probably see it differently.

Real talk, the way this is presented changes how it lands and that’s why this won’t land the same for everyone That’s just my read on it.

Bluntly speaking, the logic is there, but the execution is uneven which is why this is getting picked apart That’s what changes the context. Time will tell.
