GIVE YOURSELF PERMISSION TO FEEL 💡

Grief can stir up many emotions, some expected, others surprising. It's not always easy to name what you're feeling, and even harder to give yourself permission to feel it. But allowing space for your emotions, whatever they may be, is an important part of healing.

You don’t have to hold it all together or move forward quickly. It's okay to sit with the heaviness, to take things moment by moment, and to give yourself the grace you so freely offer others.

You are not alone. If you need support, reach out. We’re always here.

If you’re unsure about what to expect or how to navigate this time, we’ve shared a gentle guide on our blog that may help. And if you ever need someone to talk to, we’re always here.
