“What I love” project for grief

The week before my daughter died, she asked me to compile a list of 100 things I love — and why. She gave explicit instructions.

She had a septic blood infection and was fading fast, so honestly, I think she forgot why she asked me to do this. She didn’t bring it up again. But I’m glad I did it because it was a good exercise for thinking about what brings me joy in a time of deep grief.
