What is The Bittersweet Weekly?

A weekly newsletter for readers searching for a richer perspective on the bittersweet moments that make up modern life.

A wedding day without your parents, the birth of a child after one has died, holiday dinners with an empty chair. Beautiful sorrow, painful joy, present longing.

This is The Bittersweet Weekly.

What You Can Expect

Free subscribers get two weekly posts delivered straight to your inbox, usually on Tuesdays and Fridays.

I share personal stories on Tuesdays, and on Fridays, I share a link round-up of Bittersweet's adjacent content.

Who am I?

Am I the only one on Substack who struggles to find a solo picture of themselves?
