@makebigtalk: When someone you love dies - “in the immediate aftermath, there are people who are around who are checking in. But it’s that second wave, where the phone calls stop, the gift cards stop, that can put people in a place of loneliness… So I was intentional about calling “mommy how are you?” And she’s like “do you need anything?” And I’m like “No, no I don’t need anything. I need to just talk to you.” ❤️ - Thank you Dr. Simon for making Big Talk. Dr. Kevin Simon is Boston’s first Chief Behavioral Health Officer.
