4 months of mourning someone you loved for 43 years. Think about that. 4 months, compared to 43 years. You are allowed to be in a dark hole. Give yourself that allowance. You will never get over him, but expecting yourself to be better at coping after 4 months would not be fair to the significance he has in your life. Continuing taking it day by day. Embracing the light when you can find it. We all love you and continue to do so thru darkness and light. Sending hugs to you, stranger on the internet. ❤️

The highlight of my week was your episode of AFE - I needed it! If I have learned anything in my grief…it will continue to have moments in your life especially this first year.

Remember you are human & give yourself time & grace to have those crying spells in the shower (I’m late to work at least one day a week because of those) - I’m here for you if you ever need anything

Love you bunches

You’re doing great, Blair. Keep writing. I found a lot of comfort in words from death doulas, they are pros AND LITERAL ANGELS.

Hey, you don’t know me . I downloaded sub stack just to read this. I wanted to let you know that a month ago I had a miscarriage . You, Hannah Einbinder and Maria Bamford are the only things that have been getting me through this time, that and nature and my family/friends. I never wrote to a comic or celeb before but I wanted to tell you that What you do is awesome and magical and I’m so glad and feel lucky to have your comedy in this time. You are in pain and that pain is your love enduring. I’m sorry for your loss. Also I didn’t proofread this either .

Blair, you are a gift to the world. You have helped so many people through shit days/months/years through your work. Myself included. Seeing you with Ron Funches was the most fun I’ve ever had at a comedy show.

Losing RJ is an unimaginably traumatic tragedy and I’m so sorry you’re going through it — we all are. I hope you are able to be kind to yourself and allow yourself as much time as it takes. Yours is a beautiful soul and we need your light here, but only when you’re ready.

Big love to you and your family. There are so many of us, your fans, wanting the best for you and we aren’t going anywhere. Not ever.

Hang in there. I am sorry you are going through this. Try to find something positive to spend your time on to distract your raging overactive mind. I certainly can relate- the uncertainty, pressure, nervousness. Then there are the little moments of joy. Perhaps simple laughter in a moment. You don't stop remembering, but there are new memories to make.
