Finding joy after loss doesn’t mean forgetting. It means finding new ways to feel connected. ❤️‍🩹

Sometimes that looks like doing something they loved, listening to their favorite song,
or returning to the things you enjoyed together.

Not every day will feel joyful and that’s okay.
But when those moments of lightness do come, you don’t have to feel guilty for letting them in.

You lost someone you love, that doesn’t mean you have to be sad all the time.

✨ This week, we’re talking about finding joy in grief, one small moment at a time.

➡️ Come back next week for Part Four in our grief series 👉🏾 Does It Ever End?
Be sure you’re following so you don’t miss it.

🔊What grief might sound like (even when we don’t call it that).

It doesn’t always announce itself loudly.
Sometimes grief hides behind sentences like:
🗣️‘I thought I’d be over it by now.’
🗣️‘It’s not that deep, right?’
🗣️‘Why does this still hurt?’

We minimize what we don’t yet understand, but naming it can be the first soft step toward healing.

Because when we finally give our feelings a name, we also give them permission to move; to shift, to breathe, to begin softening with time. ❤️‍🩹


💌 Save this for the days when your emotions surprise you.

Whether it happened suddenly or after a long decline; it doesn’t change what it was, someone you love, someone you’re connected to. 💛

Everyone grieves differently and that’s okay. There’s no single right way to move through it.

What can help is finding support in the ways that feel right for you, grief groups, therapy, or simply staying connected with people who understand.

💌 If you’re looking for a counselor, psychologytoday.com is a good place to start.

You can also explore organizations like BFO Midwestern Region, Coping Centre, Hummingbird Centre for Hope, and GriefShare 👉🏾 all dedicated to helping individuals and families navigate loss.

Grief doesn’t always look like mourning someone who’s passed. 🕊️❤️

Sometimes it’s missing the version of yourself that felt lighter.
Sometimes it’s letting go of a dream you outgrew.
Sometimes it’s the ache of realizing something changed and you didn’t get a say.

No matter what form it takes, it’s still grief and it’s still valid. 🫶🏾

💬 Which kind of grief have you been learning to name lately?


10/10/2025

Grief is often misunderstood and it doesn’t follow a one-size-fits-all path. 💛

This month, we’re opening the conversation about grief: what it looks like, how it shows up and how we can support ourselves and each other.

Today, on World Mental Health Day, remember: it’s okay if your journey doesn’t fit the ‘five stages’ everyone talks about. You don’t have to do it alone.

World Mental Health Day is this Friday, but the check-in starts now 💬

How are you really doing this week?

Remember, mental health isn’t only about navigating struggle, it’s also about the everyday practices that keep us grounded and supported. Let’s normalize talking about it, together. 🫶🏾

💁🏾‍♀️ Let's be real - finding the right therapist is hard.

One who sees you. Gets you. Doesn't make you explain every cultural reference or shrink yourself to be taken seriously.

If you've ever left therapy feeling unheard or unsure if it was even working... this is your reminder: it's not you. You were just talking to the wrong one.

✨ Therapy should be a space that holds your truth, not your performance.

🎤 And if you're looking for a therapist who's the one — not the two — well... hi.👋🏾

🍂 Set Yourself Up for Your Best Season Yet – Tip #3: Don’t Be Afraid to Ask for Help

We often put pressure on ourselves to do it all; to carry every responsibility, every task, every challenge on our own. But the truth is: strength is not in doing everything alone.

Asking for help is not weakness. It’s wisdom. It’s connection. It’s how we grow.

✨ This week, give yourself permission to lean on the people around you. Sometimes, the support you need is closer than you think.

Somewhere along the way, we started treating independence like it’s the only way to succeed. But the truth is; you don’t have to do it all alone.

💇🏾Talk to the person who does your hair.
🏦 Ask your banker if something doesn’t make sense.
🫱🏽‍🫲🏾 Lean on your friends and connect with the people around you.

Asking for help isn’t weakness, it’s wisdom. It’s how you stay grounded, grow stronger and set yourself up for your best season yet.

✨ This week’s challenge: Choose one area where you could use support and go ask for it.
