The Leftover Pieces: Suicide Loss Conversations

Grief Truth #31; August Daily Nuggets

"Grief truth: We keep going, together."

Welcome, fellow griever.
This is your Daily Nugget from me, Melissa, your host of The Leftover Pieces.
Today we will share a moment of presence, a breath of truth, and a reminder.
Lean in with me ---

This month, we’ve walked through thirty-one days of truths about grief — the ones that don’t fit on sympathy cards or in quick conversations, but live in the marrow of our lives.
We’ve talked about love and loss, about how grief changes but never disappears, about how we carry them forward even as we learn to carry ourselves. If you’ve listened each day, you’ve done more than hear my words — you’ve shown up for your grief, for your heart, and for the love that still lives inside you. That matters. 

"Grief truth: We keep going, together."

💜 Looking ahead: September is Suicide Loss Awareness Month. Here on the podcast, we’ll be sharing special episodes, conversations, and reflections to honor our loved ones — and to raise visibility for the Because They Are Loved anthology project.
Then, in October, the Daily Nuggets return with something truly special: short, heartfelt episodes featuring community-submitted memories of loved ones. And in December, we’ll walk together through surviving the holidays — with honesty, permission, and compassion.

This moment is yours, and you are allowed to rest in it.
You carry truths that no one can take from you.
You are walking a path only you can know

Grief is heavy. But it’s lighter when we carry it together.
Thank you for spending August with me — I hope you’ll stay close for what’s next.
