As my work toward becoming a Death Doula approaches, I’m thinking I want to be as real and true as I can be so that I can feel not only my own long-held grief, but also that of others as they face their own deaths. To that end, this post is about my decision to go off my SSRI in order to feel things fully again.

But this weekend, I experienced tears for the first time in a long time, and it felt so good to have those feelings that had produced them that I started thinking about how I got here.
