I’ve been following Mike Bierbaum’s story with a heavy heart, and it’s a stark reminder of how little we may know about those around us. Mike was well-regarded, both personally and professionally, yet his struggle was hidden beneath the surface. This kind of tragedy is a call to us all to be more vigilant, especially with the people we care about. In reading about his life, I can see how deeply he valued community and family – these attributes resonate with me. It’s terrifying to think someone so committed to others could feel so unseen in his own pain. I’ve been thinking about how even small acts of kindness might make a difference or at least ease the burden for someone who’s carrying such a heavy weight. If there's anything we can learn from Mike’s passing, it's that an open ear or a supportive conversation could mean more than we realize. My thoughts are with everyone who cherished him, and I hope we can all honor his memory by being more present for the ones we love.
