Every journey begins with a seed. In grief, that seed is pain - but it can also hold the promise of growth.

Even in the darkest soil, something new can take root. This week, we reflect on how grief shapes us and how, over time, we can grow through it.

Grief changes us. Like a sprout breaking through soil, we eventually start to find new strength - even when it feels impossible.
Every small step forward matters.

Over time, roots deepen. We learn to carry love and loss together, shaping who we are becoming.
Grief doesn't vanish - it becomes part of our story.

Support The Good Grief Trust and help spread hope this week.
