The idea behind this card — The second wind

When you're ready — no sooner — one small kindness in their honor, or in honor of what you lost, can carry weight nothing else lifts. Service is grief's second wind.

TEND — The practices — sabbath, service, blessing, hope, vigil

…people sat with this card this month
…

The practice

if the readiness is there, do one small thing in their name this week — or in the name of the life you had. The donation, the meal for a neighbor, the bench wiped clean. If the readiness isn't there, this card keeps. Service waits without spoiling.

Where this idea comes from

  • Almsgiving, seva, mitzvah — service traditions; meaning through action
