Good morning friend🌞
Welcome to another day of Joy Hour, your 3x weekly dose of positivity and inspiration! Ready for a sweet and unexpected lesson on handling tough emotions? Today’s story is a heartwarming reminder that even in our toughest moments, we can find comfort—and we’ve got none other than Andrew Garfield and Elmo to thank for it!
What do a beloved actor and a furry red monster have in common? A surprisingly profound lesson on grief…
You know that sadness, it’s kind of a gift, it’s kind of a lovely thing to feel in a way because it really means you love somebody when you miss them. And when I miss my mum, I remember all of the cuddles I used to get from her…and it makes me feel close to her.

"Grief, I've learned, is really just love. It's all the love you want to give but cannot. All of that unspent love gathers up in the corners of your eyes, the lump in your throat, and in that hollow part of your chest. Grief is just love with no place to go." – Jamie Anderson
