Hi, 20 years ago I lost my mam and due to recent passings its brought my mams passing to the forefront. At the sametime I'm grieving who I once was, as I'm leaving work on ill health retirement due to medical grounds. I feel that I've lost my role as a parent, no longer needed as a work colleague and as I'm housebound at present the lost of friendships, and grieving who I am as well as many bereavements.

Death by suicide is still one of the most misunderstood losses. People keep asking about prevention, blame, warning signs, and “what should’ve been done.” Here’s the truth most people never hear: suicide is an illness of the mind, not a character flaw, not a weakness, and not a rational choice. When the brain is impaired by overwhelming psychological pain, access to logic, future thinking, and alternatives collapses. That’s why postvention matters. What happens after someone dies by suicide determines whether shame spreads or healing begins. Whether families suffer in silence or learn how to live again without carrying blame. If you’re grieving a death by suicide—or supporting someone who is—you deserve education, structure, and real guidance. Not platitudes. Not stigma. Not silence. I built Create a Breakthrough in Your Grief for exactly this. This work goes beyond validation. It teaches you how the brain processes traumatic loss and how to rebuild meaning, stability, and identity after it. Go to mastergrief.com This is where grief gets understood—and transformed.

I have started this at least 3x!! Ugh Grief today is me trying to move through emotions: feeling it and trying to keep pace with friends that assume I’m fine. They mean no harm to me, I’m not good at emotions when it comes to myself.

Some mornings feel like this strange split. There’s a moment — before your brain catches up — where love is just love. Where the body is calm. Where nothing hurts yet. And then memory walks in. Grief taps you on the shoulder and says, “Hey. Don’t forget.” And suddenly you’re divided between: - the quiet of the now - and the weight of what’s missing That doesn’t mean you’re doing grief wrong. It means your nervous system is trying to protect you. That calm moment wasn’t denial. It was your system regulating. The remembering isn’t weakness. It’s attachment. Grief isn’t one state — it’s a constant shifting between presence and memory. If mornings are the hardest for you, you’re not broken. You’re human. And you don’t have to figure this out alone. 👉 If you want to understand grief from the inside out — the brain, the body, the identity shift — go to MasterGrief.com. This isn’t about surviving loss. It’s about learning how to live with it. #grief #morninggrief #griefjourney #bereavement #loss #healinggrief #griefeducation #nervoussystem #griefsupport #mastergrief #griefwork

Welcome. I’m really glad you’re here. Grief is not something we’re meant to do alone. And yet, most people are grieving in isolation—quietly, privately, and often feeling like they’re doing it “wrong.” Community matters in grief because grief is relational. Loss happens in relationship, and healing doesn’t come from disappearing into yourself—it comes from being witnessed, understood, and supported by people who get it. This space exists so you don’t have to explain yourself. So you don’t have to minimize your pain. So you don’t have to pretend you’re fine when you’re not—or pretend you’re broken when you’re not either. Here, we focus on the fundamentals of grief: Understanding what’s happening in your brain, heart, and nervous system. Reframing the stories that keep you stuck. And learning how to carry your loss and your life forward at the same time. This isn’t about fixing you. It’s about walking together. Learning together. And remembering that grief doesn’t mean you’re alone—even when it feels that way. Take your time. Read. Share when you’re ready. You belong here.
