Grief is Weird: I Still Mourn People I Barely Knew

Have you ever found yourself crying at the death of a long-lost friend or a former colleague? Grief can be weird and surprising. You expect to mourn the passing of your close friends and family, but there are times when grief catches you unexpectedly.

We lost touch years ago, and yet I'm still so shocked and saddened by her death. I've shared these thoughts, along with my perspective from my own mother's death, in a blog post. I hope they help you process your own feelings. | Belle Brita #grief #mourning

Brett Kavanaugh, Rape Culture, and Feminist Fatigue | Scattered thoughts on my exhaustion as a feminist in today's political climate. | Belle Brita #feminism

It’s been a long few weeks. A long few months. Two incredibly long years since Donald Trump was elected to office. I’ve been quiet on Instagram and on Facebook regarding this whole Brett Kavanaugh disaster. Twitter, however, is a different story. Retweets make it easy to share my thoughts, my feelings, my befuddlement, my rage…. [Read More]
