a slow, private, structured way to work through a rupture, alone or together.
when something has broken, mend holds the shape of the conversation so you don't have to find it while you're already hurting.
on your own: anyone can start a solo mend. together: you invite the other person and it begins only if they accept; they don't have to be your kin, but they do have to say yes.
want to talk about Mend with people who live it?
