Grief can be a wild, heart-wrenching ride, shaking us to our core—both physically and emotionally.
Grief doesn’t just vanish—it lingers in our hearts, big and ever-present. But with time, it softens, becoming more bearable.
It’s not all or nothing. Grief often shares the stage with other emotions—love, joy, even hope—slowly weaving its way into the fabric of your life.
Life does open up again. Piece by piece, you’ll feel whole, carrying memories that keep your loved one alive in your heart, celebrating them without the weight of overwhelming pain.
But let’s talk about the tricky stuff—those "taboo" or “disenfranchised” losses that often don’t get the space they deserve to be grieved.
Losses like:
- Suicide
- Drug overdoses
- Miscarriages or stillbirths
- SIDS
- Mental or chronic illness
- Sudden, traumatic accidents
- The loss of a beloved pet
These losses can feel isolating and complicated, making it even harder to grieve. When we can’t talk about them openly, they can morph into something heavier—complicated grief.
But here’s the thing: grieving in a healthy, supported way can help you navigate these uncharted waters. You don’t have to do it alone—let’s wade through it together.
