'Dear Hillary' letters are helping people cope

"Dear Hillary..."

That's how many frustrated, shocked, upset, disappointed and confused people are starting letters to the Democratic candidate after her loss to Donald Trump on Election Day.

The #DearHillary Tumblr launched Thursday to collect written submissions to create a "living, breathing document" and a collective love letter to Hillary.

Some of the heartwarming letters are long, others short. Some are from longtime supporters and others from skeptics and even Republicans.

The woman, who partnered with others to create the project, hopes more submissions will come through and eventually the Clintons will notice the collection of kind thoughts and words. (The creator works for the Clinton Foundation and told Mashable the project is not a part of the Foundation's activities.)

The idea of a letter to the would-be first female president is cropping up elsewhere, including Twitter, where the #DearHillary hashtag is an opportunity to pen a 140-character letter to the former secretary of state.

In the Pantsuit Nation Facebook group one woman put together a group letter with over 100,000 digital signatures. She told Mashable in a message that she is hopeful the letter will get to the candidate.

Another group member shared a letter her 12-year-old daughter had written to Clinton in the days after Trump's win.

Letters directed to Clinton herself seem to be a variation on many letters CEOs have sent their employees and celebrities have written to family members about dealing with an unexpected Trump presidency.

There's just something about writing your feelings down.
