How’s your heart? This is the question I ask my loved ones when I want them to know I’m available for connecting vulnerably. It’s a shorthand for I’m here for it, for you, for us. The last couple of months the question has felt like a bad fit –our hearts are clearly broken open and in pain. A more adequate line of enquiry and signal of care has been to ask about quality of sleep, stress relief, recovery strategies, and to offer support to each other tenderly and concretely amidst the grief.
