“Grief is a balancing act. Most day I find myself falling over. Getting up. Falling over. Staying down. Getting up. It's exhausting.” The loss of a loved one forces you to face a new reality which includes dealing with the practical demands of everyday life. We can help you move forward with the support of others, as only those who have also experienced loss can. 💚💜http://www.stephysplace.org/sp/ 💜💚🦋

Instead of saying, "I know what it feels like", let's say "I cannot imagine your heartbreak".

Instead of saying, "You're strong, you'll get through this, let's say " You'll hurt, and I'll be here.

Instead of saying, "You look like you're doing well, Let's say, "How are you holding up today?"

Instead of saying, "Healing takes time", let's say "Healing has no timeline".

Instead of saying, "Everything happens for a reason, let's say "This must feel so terribly senseless right now".

And when there are no words to say at all, you don't need to try and find some. Love speaks in silences too.

To honor you, I get up everyday and take a breath.
And start another day without you in it.
To honor you, I laugh and love with those who knew your smile
And the way your eyes twinkled with mischief and secret knowledge.
To honor you, I take the time to appreciate everyone I love,
I know now there is no guarantee of days or hours spent in their presence.
To honor you, I listen to music you would have liked,
And sing at the top of my lungs, with the windows rolled down.
To honor you, I take chances, say what I feel, hold nothing back,
Risk making a fool of myself, dance every dance.
You were my light, my heart, my gift of love, from the very highest source.
So everyday, I vow to make a difference, share a smile, live, laugh
and love.
Now I live for us both, so all I do, I do to honor you.

“Cumulative grief is when you experience one loss on top of another, on top of another with not much space in between. It's heavy, there's lots of layers and it can feel completely overwhelming. These layers of grief need to be nurtured individually. It can take a long time to process all this loss when there is no breathing room before the next hits. Sometimes these layers of grief expose unhealed traumas, complicating your grief further.

If you are dealing with cumulative grief, our hearts are with you. We’ve been there and it's hard to not feel defeated and wonder "why me".
All we can say is, one day at a time... one step at a time. one breath at a time. Sending love to you.”

How do we face another calendar turn without them? It's a dilemma for those grieving. No matter how much we resist, the holidays come and go; no matter how much we protest, the new year arrives. Time marches on.

I can offer you this small prayer, spoken in humility and from a deep place of knowing: I wish for you to be loved unconditionally through griefs loneliness moments, when you go into his room and lay on his bed, when you find a strand of her hair in an old brush, when you simply, purely miss him with every part of your being or when you find yourself listening for the tiny whisper of her voice.

I wish you strength to allow weakness, to reach out for the hand of another when you are vulnerable.

When the magnitude of the implacable loss has you in its grip, I wish for you the tenderest of grief's touches born of inimitable love.

And in your darkest days, I wish for the kindness of others who will join you there, meet you in your pain, and remember with you. -By Dr Jo Cacciatore

"Grief, I've learned, is really just love. It's all the love you want to give, but cannot. All the unspent love gathers up in the corners of your eyes, the lump in your throat, and in that hollow part of your chest.
Grief is just love with no place to go."💜💜💜

You will not ‘get over’ the loss of a loved one; you will learn to live with it. You will heal and you will rebuild yourself around the loss you have suffered. You will be whole again but you will never be the same. Nor should you be the same, nor would you want to.”

At Stephy’s Place you will be able to talk to others who are continuing their journey through the grief process.

“On those days when you miss someone the most, as though your memories are sharp enough to slice through skin and bone, remember how they loved you.

Remember how they loved you and do that, for yourself. In their name, in their honor.

Love yourself, as they loved you.

They would like that.

On those days when you miss someone the most, love yourself harder.”
