🌻Grieving My Daughter, Ava: Finding Support in Loss
Losing my daughter, Ava, was the hardest thing I’ve ever faced. After she passed, I felt lost—unsure of how to navigate the grief that filled every part of my life. I went to counseling, and while my therapist provided invaluable support, what truly helped me heal was something different—the love and understanding of my husband and other moms who had also lost a child.
No one can ever truly know the depth of someone else’s pain, but being around others who understand—who have walked a similar path—brought me comfort in a way words never could.
I will never say, “I know exactly how you feel.” But I do know the ache of heartbreaking loss. I have lost my daughter, my sister, and my mother, and through those losses, I have learned what it means to grieve and to live.
Now, as a grief coach, I want to help others carry their grief in a way that allows them to keep moving forward—not by “getting over it,” but by learning to live with it.
💙 Grief doesn’t go away, but we learn to carry it differently. If you’re grieving today, please know—you are not alone.
