I can think back to many moments where I have felt immense guilt because as time moved on, I would start to find myself not crying every day or not thinking about my dad 24/7 anymore.

Why do we do this to ourselves? It's painful.

In this episode, I share my experience of beginning to make peace with the reality that I don't have to feel guilty all the time for healing & I don't have to feel immense pain forever.

As we grow, our grief grows with us, and in different seasons of life, grief may look vastly different from how it did at the start.

If you need a listening ear, I'm here for you. Hang in there <3

Yesterday was my 31st birthday. I've celebrated three birthdays since losing my dad, and I tell you what...birthdays can feel heavy after parent loss. You can't really go the entire day without thinking about your parents at least a little bit on your birthday as you are a part of them.

In this episode I share about the day, what it looked like, the tough moments, and the moments filled with laughter & beauty.

A friend gave me a piece of advice before my first birthday without my dad that I continually live by when it comes to these kinds of days or holidays. I share that in this episode.

Birthdays are a day to celebrate life & being grateful for life but they are also a day to remember the ones who loved getting to celebrate you on these special days. Sending you love & peace in your grief journey.

In this episode, I talk about sharing your grief. I cover sharing publicly, privately with people you know, or even in grief groups.

Sharing your grief is a very vulnerable thing and some may feel compelled to share everything, while others may not want to share much of anything.

Can you share too much or are you sharing too little? I talk about that in this episode.
