“Hello --It is May 8th and welcome to Wonderland Fellow Griever. — “You’ve just stepped Down the Rabbit Hole — where mental health meets madness after loss. Let’s get real, together. This is your daily dose of truth, grief, and yes, just the right bit of madness.”

WEEK 2: Madness & Acceptance

Day 8: Today’s truth is: "We're all mad here"  Idea: Grief is disorienting—but you’re not alone.  

When we lose a child, we enter a parallel universe — one where love and pain are inseparable, and where ‘madness’ starts to feel like reality.

This isn’t a weakness. To do the work of grieving takes real strength. It’s not a flaw. It’s the cost of loving deeply and losing profoundly. It's a sacred rite of passage after loss and it will be woven into your life tapestry to carry forth with you for the rest of your journey. It is a gift - albeit one we didn't want or ask for - but that does not take away from its power to transform and shape us in incredible, even beautiful ways when we're ready.

Today, let this quote be a badge of belonging. You’re not out of place. You’re just part of a club no one wants to join — but where every heart understands yours.

Here, you don’t have to mask your pain. You get to speak it. And that’s sanity.

So, that's all for now...that's the nugget to carry today

Take a breath. Take what you need. leave the rest. And come back tomorrow because, remember, you're not broken—you're grieving. And you're not alone in this madness. ---I'll be right here Talk Soon."
