"Hello --It is May 24th and welcome to Wonderland Fellow Griever. — “You’ve just stepped Down the Rabbit Hole — where mental health meets madness after loss. This is your daily dose of truth, grief, and yes, just the right bit of madness.”

WEEK 4: Resilience & Reclamation

Day 24: Today’s truth is: "Then you shouldn't talk." Idea: The silence around grief. 

Sometimes, we silence ourselves — afraid to be too heavy, sad, or too much. It's not easy to express these emotions; we all struggle with it. Other times, the world silences us — with awkwardness, judgment, or discomfort.

But your story matters. Your voice matters. Your grief deserves to be heard and acknowledged.

If no one is listening, talk to the page, pour your heart into a journal, speak to the endless sky above, or even address the memory of your loved one. And remember, it's okay to seek professional help if you need it.

And if you have no words today, that's okay, too. Silence can be sacred and immensely powerful in its own right.Don't mistake your silence for invisibility or insignificance.

You are still here. Your presence is a powerful testament to your existence, loud enough to be recognized and valued. 

So, let's stop here. That's your nugget for today.
