❤️❤️❤️. Leah, I am so sorry for your loss. I loved watching the two of you together. You were a great team and we the viewers could feel the love and respect you had for each other. Take care.
Sending you so much love and support, Leah 🫶Mike Rinder continues to be a gift to this world in the work you’ve done together and the many lives touched as a result.
Considering even the tremendous ache we feel for his loss, I cannot begin to imagine how you’re feeling. My heart and energies are being sent to you through the ether ✨
Please know, you are loved, held, cared for and appreciated, and that Mike’s legacy and yours are intertwined and remarkable. xo ❤️
I lost my nana more than 20 years ago and it's still not okay. When amazing ppl are taken from us I have found that it never really heals. You have to try to distract yourself with anything you can from food to music to anything so that you're not sitting and obsessing and slowly over time you'll get used to it. You never really heal imo it's like there's this gaping hole in the middle of your living room (life) and it fills most of your vision. Over time with good distractions you'll look at that hole less and less you'll eventually develop the ability to walk thru the room and live without accidentally falling in the hole or tossing your stuff in the hole. You eventually will be able to walk thru that room with your eyes closed and not fall in the hole but it's always there. We never really get good with it. Though over time in order to honor their memory and how much they affected us you will find ways to keep him alive and that will start to feel good. To go to places they took you to fight for what they believed in to telling stories about how they affected your life. At that time you may occasionally focus on how lucky you were to have him for as long as you did rather than how messed up it is that he was taken away. It hurts so much because they were so amazing. Imagine if you never had the chance to meet someone like him? how much poorer would your life and heart have been? We were lucky to have him for the time we had him. It's just a little change in perspective and it can help alot. I really hope you read this and find it helpful. You can also try talking to him directly It help to make him feel still here. I find lighting candles in their honor to be very helpful for me. Love you Leah and Praying for you
I just wanted to thank you for the beautiful comment that you wrote to Leah....you explained how it feels when we lose a loved one, I've never thought of it in the way you said that but I understand exactly how it feels 💔
After watching your program, I fell in love with both you and Mike. I identified with you as I was involved in a human potential program that thank goodness was very different from yours. You and Mike displayed such courage to bring the truth to light and to save others. I was so inspired. I have donated to Mike's fund. I am glad you have honored him. I hope you begin to heal a bit and get back out there. Enjoy life Leah! You deserve it!
Praying for you, Leah, and for all of Mike's loved ones, as you navigate life with grief and without beloved Mike. Be patient with yourself and know that your life's purpose, which is forever connected to Mike, continues and will be waiting for you to fulfill when you're able. Even death can't take the fight God's put in you to pursue Truth and Justice. You are loved right where you're at. Blessings to you today and always.
It just hurts my heart. Even though I did not know him personally, I felt as though I did and I know your pain. 💔. Grieve as long as you need to and just know that, although the pain does lessen at some point, your heart never really stops hurting. Thank goodness for it, as it keeps their memory alive in those of us left behind in grief. Carry on. When you can.
I was so sorry to hear of Mike’s passing. You two were a great team in getting the word out about the abuses in Scientology. My deepest sympathies to you and to Mike’s family.
My heart hurts too because I have been following you and Mike with The Aftermath episodes and now listening to your podcast, Fair Game.
When my incredible brother Joe and his beloved husband Hal both died of AIDS in 1995, I allowed myself time to explore grief because it is so powerful. I wanted to learn from it instead of escaping it, which is impossible anyway. It is ok to dwell in the cycle of grief for a while. Your innate curiosity will help lead you out of it in time.
I sense Joe and Hal in my everyday life now. They just pop up in my heart and I say hi.
Their life force is somewhere in the cosmos and that’s enough for me. Their love for each other and for their family made a difference in the world, which is the ultimate goal for most people.
Mike made a difference and so do you, Leah.
As Gandalf said to Frodo, ( Tolkien fan here) “All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us.”
Give yourself the chance to be curious about grief and everything else.
We need more Leahs and Mikes in this world.
I am so sorry for your loss. We had the privilege of getting to know Mike through your show. May he Rest in Peace 🕊

That photo of you caressing Mike's face is so beautiful -- heartbreaking -- but so beautiful. Oh that everyone could experience such fraternal love.
Of course you're not over it. He was your brother and and brother-in-arms. Such a loss. Thank you for continuing to fight!
He knows, Leah, he knows.
Beautiful dedication to Mike. Much deserved.
