Grief & Healing

Grief is as individual as a fingerprint—no two people navigate loss in quite the same way. Yet amid our unique experiences, we often encounter common emotions as we gradually move toward healing.

The feelings that arise during grief are sometimes called “stages,” but this term can be misleading. Grief doesn’t follow a neat timeline or progress in a straight line from one phase to the next. You might experience intense sadness for minutes or days, find yourself cycling between anger and acceptance within the same afternoon, or revisit emotions you thought you’d already processed. Moving forward and backward through these feelings is completely natural. There’s no “right” way to grieve, and there’s no schedule you need to follow. Healing unfolds in its own time, at its own pace.

Love and grief are two sides of the same precious coin.

To be human means to grow older each day we are alive. We begin. We end.

LOCAL SUPPORT

Losing someone you love is one of life’s most difficult experiences, and navigating grief can feel overwhelming. Local support groups provide a safe space to share your story, connect with others who understand your pain, and find comfort in community. Whether you’re dealing with a recent loss or grief that lingers, you don’t have to face it alone.
