Sports fans know something about grief:

The heartbreak of a playoff loss. A beloved player getting traded. The strange emptiness when a season ends. But sometimes the grief in sports is a lot more literal.

In our newest community blog, Zach Scheimer ()—our unofficial Grieve Leave sports reporter—writes about the unexpected places grief shows up in sports culture. From holding his childhood dog during its final moments… to watching a sports host cry on air about losing his brother… to the weird, perfect moments where grief and humor sit right next to each other.

Because sometimes you’re crying. And sometimes you’re crying and laughing at the same time.

Sports culture doesn’t always make space for emotions—especially for men. But as Zach writes, emotional honesty isn’t weakness. It’s strength.

We’re sharing more from our convo with our podcast guest, Brooke Hartley Moy, CEO of the AI company Infactory— because convos about AI are everywhere these days. And there’s a lot to unpack!

Our loved ones used to disappear from daily life when they died. Now their texts, photos, videos, and voices can live online forever.

And AI is asking a wild new question: What if you could talk to them again?

In this Grief’d Up episode, Brooke Hartley Moy and Rebecca explore the future of grief in the age of artificial intelligence, where memory, identity, and technology are colliding in ways we’re only beginning to understand.

In honor of March Madness, we’re coming back to one of our most highly responded to posts, ever. It’s about grief rankings.

The unofficial grief ranking system might be the most unhelpful thing ever created.⁠
⁠
We’ve all been on both sides of it. Minimizing our own pain because “others have it worse.” Or secretly thinking someone else’s grief doesn’t quite measure up to what we’ve experienced.⁠
⁠
But grief isn’t rational. It doesn’t perform calculations or consultations before hitting you full force on a random Tuesday when you hear that song or drive past that restaurant.⁠
⁠
Think about it: Would you tell someone with a broken arm they shouldn’t be in pain because someone else has two broken legs? Of course not. Yet somehow, with emotional pain, we’ve normalized this bizarre comparative approach.⁠
⁠
The truth is that grief responds to significance, not statistics.⁠
⁠
The impact of your loss isn’t measured by some universal grief calculator—it’s measured by what that person, job, relationship, dream, or identity meant to YOU.⁠
⁠
Next time you catch yourself in the comparison trap (because we all do it), remember that acknowledging someone else’s pain doesn’t diminish your own. And validating your own grief doesn’t minimize anyone else’s.⁠
⁠
There’s enough space for all of our grief.⁠
⁠
Have you ever felt like your grief “didn’t count” as much as someone else’s?

We love that Robert Irwin () feels closest to his dad in tv middle of nowhere, where he can just let it all pour out sometimes. Where do you feel closest to your person?

PS , we continue to bow down to you and the convos you host on ❤️

“People kind of own part of your grief, in a way.”

In this interview with for , talks about something a lot of people experience after loss: the strange pressure to perform grief publicly.

To say the right thing. To show it the “right” way. To prove you cared enough.

But grief doesn’t belong to the crowd, and it doesn’t have to be a performance.

Sometimes the most honest way to honor someone you love is simply figuring out how to keep living your life.

This week we’re sharing two anonymous community submissions that capture some of the fear and complexity many people are carrying right now – especially those with family ties to the Middle East.

One is a powerful anonymous community blog you’ll see on our website at grieveleave.com/blog (link in bio).

The other is an Instagram post below from earlier in the week that I hope you’ll take a moment to read, if you haven’t already.

Read more about today’s blog post:
What does grief look like when it travels across generations – and across borders?

In this anonymous reflection, a reader writes about watching events unfold in Lebanon from thousands of miles away, and realizing that the grief they feel may be older than their own lifetime.

Their grandfather served in the army. So did the generations before him.

Service, identity, and national belonging have long been part of their family’s story. And now, as instability unfolds in the country tied to their family’s history, they are confronting something complicated: the strange grief of diaspora.

The grief of distance. The grief of inheritance. The grief of knowing that history doesn’t disappear just because you moved.

They explore questions many people with global family ties are asking right now:
● How generational memory shapes the way we experience conflict
● Why immigration creates both safety and emotional distance
● What it means to belong to more than one place at the same time
● How grief can be inherited, not just experienced firsthand

It’s thoughtful, layered, and deeply honest about what it feels like to carry history in your body.

In honor of the opening ceremony this weekend, we’re asking you: who deserves a gold medal for grief? Send this to someone who’s still here through it all, whether that’s surviving grief themselves, or supporting you through yours.

What are you grieving today? Tell us 💙 It could be grief from a recent loss, or a loss from long ago that’s popping back up as some grief today. It could be the death of a loved one, a breakup, moving to a new city, or something else entirely.

When you share your story, it gives you a moment to grieve, and helps someone else feel seen in their own grief.

This month we’re excited to share that we have TWO Sad Hours! Check out this one coming at the end of the month:

Grief doesn’t just take someone from us. It takes the version of ourselves that existed before the loss, too.

Who are you now? What matters to you now? How do you find your footing again when everything feels upside down?

On March 25, we’re gathering in Raleigh for a special Sad Hour focused on the identity shifts that come with grief — the quiet, complicated process of reorienting after loss.

We’ll start with an interactive deep dive into grief and grief-related trauma, spend time reflecting on how our values change after loss, and close with a short mindfulness practice to help reconnect with your body when things feel heavy.

No pressure. No fixing. No pretending you’re fine.
Just real conversation, reflection, and space to show up exactly as you are.

📍 Current Wellness — Downtown Raleigh
🗓 March 25 | 7:30 PM - 8:30

Whether you’re in the thick of a recent loss or navigating the long road after it, you’re welcome here.
