Grief is one of the toughest journeys we face and one every one of us walks through it at some point in our lives.

In this special mini-episode of Celebrate Your Story, Jim reflects on the stories Celebrations Pulse readers shared about loss, healing, and the ways we show up for one another.

From the wisdom of "there's no timeline for grief" to the power of a buddy check, these stories remind us that comfort grows from simple presence. Community members share how they endured unimaginable loss, found strength in counseling groups, leaned on faith, celebrated beautiful memories, and learned to let grief move through them instead of fighting it.
