When someone shares that they’ve lost a loved one, it can be tempting to ask “How did they die?” — but often this question doesn’t bring the comfort we intend.

For many grieving people, the how is not the most important part of their story. What they often need most is presence, compassion, and space to share in their own way. Asking about the details can unintentionally feel intrusive, or shift the focus away from their grief and love for the person they’ve lost.

Instead of asking about the circumstances, try offering something gentle like:
✨ “I’m so sorry for your loss.”
✨ “What was your loved one like?”
✨ “I’m here if you’d like to share more.”

Grief is deeply personal. Meeting it with care, curiosity about the person rather than the loss, and patience for someone’s process can create the safety we all long for in hard times.

Together, we can change the way we show up for one another in grief. 💛

When we lose someone we love, it can feel like the world expects us to move on and stop mentioning their name. But love doesn’t end.
Memories don’t expire.

Talk about them often.
Share their stories.
Say their name out loud.

Every time we remember, we honor the ways they shaped us and the love that still lives within us.

Today I carry you with me boldy and gently all at once

With warmth,
Vanessa

Even in silence, my grief is loud.

Grief doesn’t always show itself in tears or words. Sometimes, it sits quietly with us, filling the space between breaths. It hums in the background of our daily routines, in the quiet moments no one else can see.

It’s in the pause when you almost text them.
It’s in the ache when something reminds you of them.
It’s in the silence that somehow feels louder than any noise.

If this is you, you’re not alone. Grief doesn’t need to be “fixed.” It needs space, it needs to be witnessed. Let’s continue to hold space for our stories, for their stories.

Together, we grieve. Together, we remember.

Grief is… still picking up the phone to call you anytime something good, cool, or hard happens.

It’s instinctual. That reach for connection—because you were always my first call.
The urge doesn’t go away, even when the number stays silent.
That’s grief. It weaves into life’s everyday moments, a reminder of the bond that never leaves.

We don’t “move on.”
We carry, remember, and find new ways to hold these conversations in our hearts.

Here, every Wednesday, we make space for the real, raw, and tender parts of loss.
We talk about the nitty gritty of what grief actually looks like — and let me tell you, it’s not just pain.
It’s beauty.
It’s memory.
It’s love that doesn’t know where to go.

Together, we make grief visible — and no one has to feel alone in it.

We grieve deeply because we love deeply. It’s that simple.

So why is it that we live in a world that so often turns away from grief? Why don’t we hold space for it, for others, for ourselves?

Let’s change that narrative. Let’s talk about love. Let’s talk about them — their quirks, their laugh, their stories. We are, and will always be, the keepers of their stories. Grief doesn’t end when they are no longer here — because love doesn’t either.

Our hearts are big enough to carry this.

With warmth ,
Vanessa

Grief is a strange companion — it asks us to hold two truths at once.
We move forward, build new chapters, laugh again…
And still, we ache for what was.

The paradox is that healing doesn’t mean forgetting.
It means learning how to live with the loss —
how to carry love, memory, and meaning into a world that’s been altered forever.

💬 What grief paradox are you living with right now?
We are here for all of it — share in the comments or message us.

Grief Is...
Still saying hi to you when I walk in the door after work —
even though it’s been five years.

Because some routines aren’t just habits —
they’re connections.

This is our love continuing to speak.

We live in a grief-phobic world — a world that wants to rush past the hard stuff.
But the truth is, grief isn’t something we can—or should—avoid.

Here, every Wednesday, we make space for the real, raw, and tender parts of loss.
We talk about the nitty gritty of what grief actually looks like — and let me tell you, it’s not just pain.
It’s beauty.
It’s memory.
It’s love that doesn’t know where to go.

Today was hard, and I missed you
Some days just ache a little louder

Grief isn’t linear. it catches us off guard — in the quiet, in the chaos, in the middle of an ordinary day.

if you’re carrying a heavy heart today, you’re not alone.
missing them means they mattered.
you still do. 💛

Grief doesn’t ask us to forget.
It asks us to carry.

To carry the love, the memories, the ache — and to find a way to move forward with it, not past it.

Here we honor that grief becomes part of the fabric of who we are. It walks beside us as we heal, grow, and live again.

💛 You don’t have to do this alone.
