Grief isn’t just something we feel when someone dies.

Grief accumulates over a lifetime.

Imagine this…

From the moment you are born, you’re given a backpack to carry.

And into that backpack go all of your losses.

At first, it’s light.

A few pebbles.

Maybe being left out at school.
A harsh word.
A moment you didn’t feel seen or loved.

Pebbles… and then rocks.

You lose your first childhood pet.
A friendship changes.
You move away from something familiar.

And then come the boulders.

The end of a relationship.
A divorce.
The loss of a loved one.
A job, a home, a version of your life you thought would last.

And with every loss…
you keep adding to the backpack.

No one ever tells you to stop.
No one ever shows you how to unpack it.

So you just keep carrying it.

Day after day.
Year after year.

Until one day you pause and ask yourself…

Why does everything feel so heavy?

If we were to place a pebble, rock, or boulder in your backpack for every loss you’ve experienced…

How heavy would it be?

And more importantly…

Who taught you how to carry it?
Who taught you how to release it?

If you’re feeling overwhelmed… stuck… emotionally exhausted…
There is nothing wrong with you.

Most of us were never taught how to process grief in a healthy way.

But that doesn’t mean you have to keep carrying it alone.

✨ This is exactly why I created this workshop. ✨

A space to gently begin unpacking what you’ve been holding.
To understand your grief.
To learn tools that actually support you.
To feel lighter… clearer… and more like yourself again.

You don’t have to drop the backpack all at once. But you can start taking things out—one piece at a time.

There was a time in my life when I didn’t even realize I was grieving.

I thought I was just “tired.”
Overwhelmed.
I thought I needed to be stronger… to push through… to keep going.

But underneath all of that… was grief.

Grief from endings I never processed.
Grief from relationships that changed.
Grief from the version of myself I had to let go of.
Grief I kept busy so I didn’t have to feel.

And what I’ve come to learn — both personally and through my work — is that grief doesn’t go away when we ignore it.
It waits.
In the body.
In the nervous system.
In the quiet moments when everything finally slows down.

It wasn’t until I allowed myself to stop… to feel… to soften…
that something shifted.

Not fixed. Not gone.
But held.
Honoured.
Moved.

That’s why I created this day.

✨ When the Curtain Closes: A Day of Grief, Grace & Integration ✨

Because grief isn’t something to rush through.
It’s something to be witnessed.
To be expressed.
To be supported in — gently, safely, and without pressure.

If you’ve been carrying something…
If you’ve been “fine” for too long…
If there’s something in you asking for space to breathe…

This is for you.

You don’t have to do it alone. 🤍

I’ve been sharing with many of you that there’s something big happening on our little farm….so here is the prepping for Phase 2 🙃😁 (Phase 1 was moving and burying the hydro line).

I’m still blown away by the change after looking at the before and after pictures and I live here! 🤣

My yoga practice has taught me (or tries to teach me 😂) to go with the flow….so far so good with this new project…..never say never and keep believing, trusting and going after your dreams. ❤️🙏🏻

Follow me on for more updates and to watch our dream come to life. 🥰

Sometimes the most powerful thing you can do…
is pause.

To step away from the noise.
To soften your body.
To reconnect with yourself.

A few years ago, I hired a grief recovery specialist.

At the time, I just knew something inside of me felt heavy.
I couldn’t quite name it, but there was a sadness that seemed to sit just under the surface of everything.

I wanted to understand why.

Why I reacted the way I did sometimes.
Why certain things hurt so deeply.
Why I felt emotionally exhausted even though I was doing all the “right” things.

It turns out, I was carrying grief.

Not just one loss — but several significant losses that had stacked up over time.

And like many of us do, I had become very good at being the strong one.

The resilient one.
The well-rounded one.
The one who keeps going.

But eventually, I realized something important.

My healing wasn’t going to begin through strength.

It was going to begin through vulnerability.

Through saying the things I had never said out loud.
Through allowing someone to sit with me in the uncomfortable places.

Through taking very specific steps that allowed me to look at my losses through a different lens.

Slowly, something began to shift.

I was able to lay down some of the resentment.
Soften some of the anger.
Even begin to offer forgiveness in places I never thought possible.

Do those feelings still show up sometimes?

Of course they do.

Grief doesn’t disappear.

But they feel different now.
Softer.
Less overwhelming.
More integrated into my story.

And that experience changed my life.

It’s what led me to become a Certified Grief Recovery Specialist myself.

Because I know what it feels like to carry grief quietly.

And I know how powerful it is when someone sits beside you —
without timelines, without judgment —
and simply allows you to say the thing.

That’s the space I hold now for others.

And it is sacred work.

Much love,

Crystal

Grief doesn’t move in straight lines.
And it doesn’t live only in the mind.

It settles into the body.
The breath.
The nervous system.

Many of us learn how to cope with grief —
to keep going, stay busy, be strong, move on.

But grief that isn’t felt doesn’t disappear.
It waits.

When the Curtain Closes is a gentle, trauma-informed, full-day grief healing workshop for those who feel the weight of loss still living within them — even if life on the outside looks “okay.”

This space is for:
• those carrying grief from recent or long-ago loss
• people who are tired of being told to move on
• caregivers, helpers, professionals, and sensitive souls who hold a lot
• anyone craving a safe, embodied way to meet grief — without fixing or pressure

This day offers:
• trauma-informed somatic movement
• breathwork to soften and regulate the nervous system
• Yoga Nidra for deep rest and repair
• guided grief reflection and expressive grief work
• intentional ritual, pauses, and integration
• aftercare support and a grief recovery handbook

This work doesn’t rush healing.
It doesn’t demand closure.
It doesn’t ask you to be anywhere other than where you are.

It offers permission.
Presence.
Gentle integration.
