Sending prayers from up north!

Since David is taking you through a workshop in film, I’d to see ideas for movies that others found to be therapeutic in a dark time? Funny movies, specifically. I’m not particularly sophisticated so my movie is Bridesmaids (2011) with the female cast from SNL.

I experienced some pretty grim postpartum with our fourth. I hadn’t felt myself in months. One afternoon while in bed, I turned on the tube and Bridesmaids was on HBO. I laughed for the first time in months. I will always be grateful for that gift. Laughter was healing. I’ve watched it since and don’t find it nearly as amusing but that afternoon in bed, it was exactly what I needed.

Thank you for the updates and God bless you and David as you navigate his illness.
