Grief & Grace: Walking the Winding Path of Loss

Grief is not a single moment, but a winding river. Sometimes it roars. Sometimes it disappears underground. And sometimes—like wildflowers in unexpected places—grace appears. Quiet and unannounced, shimmering in the spaces where pain softens just enough to breathe.
I’ve walked this path. Not just beside others, but within it myself. I know the hush of heartbreak, the strange stillness after goodbye. And I’ve come to understand that grief isn’t something to fix or outrun—it’s something to tend.
Grace doesn’t always come loud. It whispers. It arrives in a warm breeze, a flickering candle, a dream you didn’t expect to remember. Grace lives in the “still here,” even when so much feels gone.
🌙 What Grief Has Taught Me
That it isn’t linear—it loops and sways like moonlight on water
That it lives in the body, not just the mind
That it changes shape with the seasons
That it can open us to deeper compassion and creativity
🌸 Where Grace Appears
In a quiet cup of tea on a hard day
In the telling of a story
In a song that arrives like a memory
In the support of someone who simply holds space
Grace doesn’t erase the grief. It walks beside it. And in that companionship, healing begins.
💫 A Space for You
Over time, this path has called me to open my hands—to offer others the kind of support I once longed for. If you are walking through loss, or if someone you love is, know this: You don’t have to do it alone.

Grief will shape you. But grace can shape you, too.
There is no right way to grieve—only your way. And that, dear one, is sacred.
With heart and candlelight,
