Hmmm - I’m not sure I liked the one here. Let me try…
My personal insight this week is that Grief Sucks! It’s not a new insight by any means, but I’ve been reminded yet again that grief never truly ends. It changes; it becomes easier; but It. Never. Ends.
More than 20 years ago I said goodbye to my childhood sanctuary, a place of freedom, calm, renewal, and joy that had been a part of my life since birth. I grew up vacationing at “Put,” my grandparent’s land, and shared yearly vacations there with my own children.

Last week I learned of a distant family member’s death. Jeff was a cousin who also shared “Put” with us. Although he and I weren’t close, seeing his obituary that talked of “Grampy and Put” brought me right back to the pain and deep sadness I thought I had overcome.

🙏 What truth are you allowing yourself to feel today?

Change is a constant! Nothing in life stays stagnant.

You, too, are allowed to change. You are allowed to laugh again in the midst of tears, to find joy again even while you remember and grief your loss. Change can be inspiring and uplifting.
It’s easy to stay in the space of familiarity. It’s easy to remain the person everyone expects us to be.

It is not a betrayal to change and become a new person. It is healthy.
🕊️ Save this for the days you need permission.

People often expect that once the first year has passed, grief should be “over.”
But grief does not work on a timetable.

After the first year, the pain may soften, yet the loss becomes more real. Life asks you to move forward while still carrying what was lost. New routines form. Loneliness can surface. Tears may come less often, but they still matter when they do.

Grief doesn’t always announce itself loudly.
Sometimes it shows up quietly in expectations, in exhaustion, or in the pressure to appear strong for others.

In this week’s blog, we explore what comes after the first year—how grief continues to evolve, why support still matters, and how kindness toward yourself becomes essential in this next season.

You do not have to rush healing.
You do not have to carry this alone.

No fixing.

Some days, grief whispers.
Other days, it roars.

Both are sacred.

In my work, I often prepare talks or sessions holding space not for answers, but for honesty. Healing begins when we stop pretending we’re fine.

🙏 What has your heart been holding this week?
