It takes courage to live your life publicly—even the darkest moments.
But folks choose to do it because sharing their trials & heartbreaking losses helps others who may be suffering in silence.
It lets them know that they are not alone in their own profound pain.

The greatest gift you can give those who share their life-changing pain is this:
THINK before you speak.
THINK before you tweet.
THINK about how it would feel if it was YOU or YOUR loved one who was suffering.
How would YOU feel reading that shitty, hot take?

Life is hard. Words have power. Universes were created with them. The Bible teaches to be mindful of them.
Lives can be torn down & spirits can be crushed by them.
This is not a game. You are not the comedian you think you are and Karma is real.
Remember all of that, too.

And lastly, the people questioning why John & Chrissy bravely chose to share their loss are the SAME people who have something negative to say when they share one of their blessings.
They👏🏾Share👏🏾Their👏🏾Lives👏🏾
And lives have ups & tragic downs.
Let them LIVE, dammit!
