Hello Everyone. I was unsure if I was going to even post this but I have two things I want to share, one is a question, and I could really use your input. My grandmother Delores passed 7/5/24, I have not attend a funeral for anyone since then but just this past week I found out a very close family friend who my grandmother actually knew passed away and their funeral is in two days(Saturday). I’m not sure but I am really nervous, because something inside is causing me to have flashbacks of the grandmothers funeral and I’ve had actually a bit of anxiety over it. Any tips? Lastly, this is just something I wanted to share. A month or so after my grandmother has passed away, I chose to write a letter to her about how I was feeling as it was easier to put it on paper due to all the emotions going through me. She was laid to rest on top of a mountain with my grandfather(beautiful spot) and I had brought a stone crescent moon and underneath I placed that letter as a comfort thing for me or a way of feeling closer to her. Over the several months unfortunately the crescent moon crumbled but it was dug into the ground far enough..and when I went just today(which I visit frequently) something told me to grab the letter from underneath, but it was gone. Nobody knew it was there and wouldn’t be able to see it. Part of me say’s is it God telling me something and she at peace, but the other part of me can’t stop thinking about it and a knot in my stomach from it..maybe it’s a sign? I posted a picture of when we placed the moon and from today, thanks for letting me share.

You are not defined by the way your person died. You are not a suicide. You are not cancer. You are not the worst thing that ever happened to you. Grief is something you went through… not who you are. And when you learn how to separate your identity from the loss, you can begin to create meaning again instead of just surviving it. Make sure you mark your calendar for next Saturday’s workshop at 11am EST — How to Create Meaning After Loss. Don’t miss this one. It’s going to be powerful.

Just a gentle check-in to start the day.One of the things I care most about inside this community is that it never feels like just another online space. This is meant to be a place where people who understand grief, loss, change, and rebuilding can actually belong… not explain themselves, not pretend, not feel rushed to be okay.

This isn’t about pressure, and it’s not about sales.It’s about deciding if you want a place where you can keep doing this work with support, structure, and people who truly get it. If you’ve been here for a while and feel the connection, this might be the right time to step in as a founding member. Either way, I’m glad you’re here this morning.Take a breath, take your time today, and remember… healing doesn’t happen all at once, it happens in moments like this.
