On that cold January day when she was killed, I told my middle-schoolers what my route home would be, so they\u2019d know there would be an adult around if things turned chaotic. Those weeks were filled with supporting students \u2014 those in school and those in hiding \u2014 through online teaching and grocery deliveries. But another constant means of support was that daily walk to and from school. It began as a way to be there for my students, but it ended up being a much needed cold-weather jolt to the system. I believe many of us in Minneapolis were feeling that as we walked in the cold and looked out for our neighbors.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Says Wendy on <a href=\"https:\/\/cupofjo.com\/2026\/03\/26\/pretty-summer-black-dress\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">how to comfort a friend<\/a>: \u201cWhen my dad passed away, I saw firsthand what a grief-phobic culture we live in. Many people didn\u2019t bring up my loss because they worried they\u2019d get it wrong. But one night I was out with a friend who seemed nervous to broach the subject of my dad\u2019s death. Finally, he got quiet, and gently asked, \u2018What does it all feel like?\u2019 In that moment, he gave me permission to express myself and also admitted he didn\u2019t understand but had genuine curiosity. It was one of the most beautiful, humane, compassionate responses I got in those first six months.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Says Sarah on <a href=\"https:\/\/cupofjo.com\/2026\/03\/25\/milk-chocolate-taste-test\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a milk chocolate taste test<\/a>: \u201cI\u2019m a dark chocolate girl.
