Thanksgiving with Pookie
(Topic: Thanksgiving, Holidays, Weighted Bear/Pookie) Hi Friends! Many loss parents struggle with Thanksgiving – it’s a holiday with a lot of family coming together, and not all families are completely understanding and supportive. My husband and I are lucky.

Pookie vs. Duvet Cover
(Topic: Weighted bear in my life as a character) Hi Friends! Many of you know Pookie by now. He shows up in lots of posts of his own, since he represents Charlie (more on weighted bears here).
