‘Every continent is burning’. We’ve all seen the news headlines. We have time, but not much. ‘Are you eating To Extinction or Eating for Tomorrow? The film is released on 16 September, the site is on ours now.
Grief Shaming is a new term to describe:
1. The act of dismissing or downplaying another person’s grief experience. eg ‘You can see your children next year, I didn’t get to attend my daughter’s wedding.’
2. The act of comparing grief experiences. eg ‘Covid’s been harder for me, you’re fortunate to have spent it there in the lovely countryside, you have no idea.’
3. The act of judging how someone does their grief. eg ‘I can’t believe you’re even complaining about that, first world problem!’
This is Katie Rossler, she’s The Transformative Grief Guide, a licensed counsellor who knows all about grief shaming and talks to The C Word Radio podcast here.
She’s the third person to suggest I add a podcast section to our cancer resource. Someone’s trying to tell me something – on it!
Chronic Dry Eye is a new addition to Health-Union’s group of communities and was added our our site this week.
16.5 million Americans have been diagnosed with this condition, with many more millions living with its consequences as yet undiagnosed.
Frequent symptoms are a stinging, burning, or scratching sensation, as well as itchy eyes or pain. Bizarrely, watery eyes can also be a symptom of chronic dry eye.
Help is at hand…
Nice resource indeed!

Batch baking is go!
I’m getting better at doubling and tripling up ingredients, realising that plant-based food has few worries with re-use.
Few of the meat/dairy related issues of it reaching temperature and lasts for days in the fridge. Win/win.
This was Sunday’s lunch (and Monday’s): A delicious ratatouille with local vegetables and quinoa (a great plant-based complete protein source).
Here’s dessert – figs from our garden.
Just the usual race to get them before the wasps do…
When I do get to eat them, they’re a good source of calcium and potassium, improving bone density, helping prevent conditions like osteoporosis.
(And they are delicious).
