Let’s just say it like it is: Grief is not just about death. It’s not just about crying. And it sure as hell isn’t just about being “sad.”
Grief is a full-body, soul-rattling experience that takes over your nervous system, your appetite, your sleep, your breath—your entire life. And the worst part? Nobody told you it would feel like this.
This is what I call Grieve That Shit. It’s the shit people say to you—like “Be strong” or “They’re in a better place.” It’s the silence when people stop checking in. It’s the pressure to move on when you’re still shattered.
But it’s also something else. It’s the heartbreaking moment you realize… you were never taught how to grieve. And you only learn that after the loss.
Your grief might look like crying—but it might also look like rage, numbness, brain fog, binge-watching, overeating, undereating, or not being able to breathe at 2AM.
It might show up after the death of a parent. Or the end of a marriage. Or a health diagnosis. Or the day your child moves out and you don’t recognize who you are anymore.
It’s all grief.
And the truth is this: Grief doesn’t just live in your heart. It lives in your chest. In your stomach. In your spine. In your sleep. In your ability to function.
But here’s what I need you to know: This pain has a name. You are not broken. You are grieving. And you don’t have to carry this forever. There is a way through. Not around. Through.
And I’m going to help you find it.
Let’s grieve that shit together.
