Mindful Grief

08/17/2025

Has this ever happened to you?

You’re grieving. Your heart feels heavy. And the people around you… they can’t just be quiet. They try to console, give advice, or “help” — but instead, it pulls you out of yourself. You can’t just be. You can’t grieve in your own way.

Here’s the truth: grief is deeply personal. You don’t have to explain, justify, or perform it for anyone else.

1️⃣ Boundaries are your right. Step back if you need to. Protect your space.

2️⃣ You’re never truly stuck. You can always leave the situation and care for your own heart.

Now imagine this: the person in front of you could truly hear your heart. What would you tell them? How would you ask them to support your grief? How would you say: “Just let me be. Let me feel this fully”?

💬 Share it here in this safe space. Your feelings are valid. Your grief is valid. It’s okay to ask for what truly supports you.

I’ve been thinking about how life’s uncertainties often wait just around the corner. We never really know what’s next.

Sometimes that not-knowing feels heavy, especially in grief. Other times, it reminds me how precious the present moment really is.

Just sharing what’s been on my heart tonight. 🌙

It’s late. The world is quiet but inside, your grief hums…a low, restless song.

Maybe it’s a memory you didn’t expect. Maybe it’s the ache of absence you carry like a secret.

Tonight, you don’t have to pretend it’s okay.

You’re not alone in this silence.

There’s a space waiting — quiet, steady, real.

If you want a companion for your grief journey, the book is waiting quietly in my bio.

We are all guests in this world.

You don’t owe anyone the “right” kind of grief.

You don’t have to defer to someone else’s version of how this should go.

And if someone assumes power over your healing... even with good intentions...

you’re allowed to say no, to pull back, to protect your space.

You have a right to define what this grief means to you and how it lives in you.

🕯️Have you ever felt silenced, corrected, or managed in your grief?

🕯️If this resonates, my new book offers more grounded support for navigating grief on your terms with space, honesty, and care.

If you are grieving, or walking with someone who is, this may offer a kind of steadiness that’s hard to name but often needed.

🌟 It’s here. 🌟

I’m so grateful (and a little emotional) to share that “The Invisible Backpack: Stories of Grief, Courage, and Comfort” is now available on

📘 Paperback, hardcover (with colored illustrations) and Kindle.

A tender collection of stories for kids ages 9–12 who are navigating grief, big feelings, or quiet heartaches they may not yet have words for.

Through gentle characters, relatable moments, and age-appropriate mindfulness practices, this book offers a soft place to land—one page at a time.

🎒 For the child who’s been carrying more than others can see.

This book was made with so much care. I hope it brings comfort to the children who need it most. 💛

Save and share with anyone who knows a grieving precious child.
