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.

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

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.

Grief Is... Still keeping your favorite candy in the cart — out of habit, out of love.

It's not about the taste.
It’s about the memory — of road trips, movie nights, or just a little moment that was always yours.

Grief lives in these tiny rituals — the quiet, tender ones we carry without explanation.

It’s the little rituals that linger.
The ones we don’t even think about until they catch us mid-aisle, mid-thought, mid-heartache.
Sometimes we reach for what was, because it helps us hold onto what still is — love.

Grief doesn’t always shout.
Sometimes it gently tugs, reminding us of the small ways they’re still woven into our lives.

Join us for a gentle and supportive morning of Grief Yoga, guided by certified grief yoga instructor Adriana Avila. This class is designed to help you move through grief using breath, sound, and mindful movement — no prior yoga experience necessary.

This isn’t about perfect poses — it’s about emotional liberation and honoring your experience. Whether you’re grieving a recent loss or something that feels long ago, this space is for you.

Please bring a mat if you have one. Chairs will also be provided for those who prefer or need a seated option. Come exactly as you are.

All proceeds from this event go toward future grief-centered events and healing offerings through Kintsugi Grief Center.

We can’t wait to welcome you. 💛

Grief shows up in the stillness — in the soft spaces where we once felt your presence. The silence holds your memory, your laughter, your love.

These quiet moments can feel heavy, but they are also reminders: you mattered. You still do.

At Kintsugi Grief Center, we hold space for the many ways grief moves — gently, powerfully, quietly.

💛 If this speaks to you, you're not alone.
Share your own moment with us using or tag us — your story might bring comfort to someone else, too.

Grief is not always loud.
Sometimes, it waits quietly in the background — until a familiar melody plays over the grocery store speakers… and suddenly, you're standing between apples and onions, trying not to fall apart.

This is grief. Unexpected. Tender. Still very much alive.

We share these moments — not because we have answers, but because someone else might be out there in their own grocery aisle, wondering if they’re the only one.

You’re not.

You don’t have to carry this alone.

Grief looks different for each of us, but one thing is true for everyone: we need spaces where we feel seen, supported, and safe.

At Kintsugi Grief Center, our weekly groups offer just that — a gentle place to land, to share if you wish, to listen, to breathe. Whether your grief is fresh or years old, whether you’re ready to talk or simply sit in the presence of others — you are welcome.

🕯️ This Week’s Groups:
Wednesday: In-Person Spousal Loss Group (Pasadena)
Wednesday: Virtual All Loss Group — join us from anywhere
Thursday: In-Person Parent Loss Group (Pasadena)
⏰ All groups run 6:00–7:30 PM

If you’ve been wondering if this might help — this is your sign. We’d be honored to hold space with you.

Sometimes, our instinct is to turn away from grief — to brace against its weight or shut the door on its ache. It’s natural. Grief can feel like too much, too loud, too consuming.

But what happens when we stop resisting?

When we soften, even slightly, and let it sit beside us — hand in hand. When we listen to what grief is trying to show us, not as a threat, but as a tender companion to love.

Because grief is not the absence of love… it is love. Transformed.

It carries memories, stories, and pieces of us that are still trying to find their way forward.

Befriending grief doesn’t mean we welcome pain — it means we welcome truth, connection, and healing.

Today, may you find the courage to lean in gently and hear what your grief has to say.
