Saying this with the caveat that many people don’t love religion and I get that, but please hear me out. I am Christian (the kind that loves queer people and supports women’s freedom to choose and whatall), and a couple of years ago my ex was in hospital which was a big shock. I did not have the supports and friends I do now, and it was lonely and scary and stressful. A very nice man on the street stopped me and asked if I would like a Virgin Mary medal to bless me, and that just made me feel so loved and cared for in that moment.
