Grieving someone who is still alive is one of the loneliest experiences there is.

There's no funeral. No card in the mail. No one asking how you're doing with it. The loss is real but the world doesn't have a name for it, so most people carry it quietly and wonder why it won't go away.

What makes it harder is that your mind doesn't process ambiguous loss the way it processes a clean ending. It keeps searching for resolution that never comes. It replays moments looking for where things changed. It holds onto hope long past the point where hope is helping.

If you're in this right now, with a parent, a friend, a relationship you watched slowly become something unrecognizable, that exhaustion you feel is real. The grief is real. And you are allowed to mourn something even when the person is still breathing.

Healing doesn't require their acknowledgment. It starts with yours.
Be gentle with yourself this week. 🤍

Moments do matter.

From Susan David

The quality of your relationships depends on how well you give, receive, and respond to bids for emotional connection.

Moments matter.

Two posts in one day? ... Why yes. Sometimes that happens! 😆

Meet our 2026 ReEnvision Marriage and Family Therapy Team! We've had some changes. If you've been around, you might have seen us welcome Tiffany Elliott and Theresa Lee, Associate Therapists, to the team. Our two amazing therapists, Shirley Toby and Lauren Staley flew the coop to begin their own practices near the end of 2025, which we are super excited about! We'll give a proper shout out to them soon - cause you'll want to see what they are up to! 🙌

Over the next several weeks, you'll get to know our therapists a bit more. In the meantime, if you or someone you know needs a therapist for individual, couple or family needs, contact us! We would love to work with you and/or your loved ones. Our Association Therapists currently have openings!

Questions? Reach out! Link to our webpage is in our bio. Email us directly or submit an inquiry form.

Stay warm. Stay steady. Stay safe and slow - even if a little creaky 😝

A little late but still relevant:

Valentine’s Day isn’t just for couples.

It’s for the friend who stayed on the phone when you couldn’t stop crying. It’s for the sibling who knows your history and loves you anyway. It’s for the teacher, the mentor, the neighbor, the spiritual leader, the therapist. It’s for the quiet acts of care that never make it to social media.

It’s also for the ones we’re missing. For the love that once filled a chair that now sits empty. For the texts that no longer come. For the hands we wish we could hold today. Love doesn’t disappear just because someone is gone... It changes shape... It softens... It sometimes aches.

Today, may you feel seen in whatever season you’re in:

deeply in love

healing from love

longing for love

grieving love

learning to love yourself

There is no wrong way to be on Valentine’s Day.

Love is bigger than a status. It is connection... It is memory... It is kindness... It is courage. And you are worthy of it in every form it takes.

So today, may you honor the love you’ve known, the love you’re growing, and the love you’re still becoming.

Sometimes even the most seasoned relationships need some prompts to help engage in fun, deep and/or intriguing conversations.

Whether you're going out on a date for the first time, have been dating for a while or married and you want to go beyond talking about what you do, the children, to-do lists, schedules, etc., check out some of these questions to ask each other.

There are "categories" but don't let that stop you from dipping into a category that has an intriguing question (s) you want to ask. There's even one for parents to ask their children.

Have fun and hope this creates some beautiful heart-to-heart moments.

Happy Valentine's!

While the focus is on all things love this week, it's a good time to talk about how romance, more specifically, emotional intimacy, gets cultivated.

The truth is: it doesn't just happen when you find the "right" person.

The feelings of romance may be there in the beginning. What sustains deeper emotional intimacy is understanding that it's not just "found" by being with the right person or believing (a myth!) that there will - or should - be a reservoir of endless romantic feelings.

As unromantic as it may sound, romance is built.

Emotional intimacy is built.

What can you do to be more mindful to build intimacy with your loved one?

By this time in January (esp as the first month of the year), it can sometimes evoke feelings that signal you’re already behind. (like this post that’s wishing you a “Happy New Year!”)

For many nervous systems, especially those shaped by trauma or chronic stress, the new year may not feel motivating - instead, it may feel demanding.

Demanding to have set or planned:
Resolutions
Goals
Intentions
or an overhaul on life!

We thought it might be important to say
(or gently remind you) that in your healing journey:

Healing doesn’t begin with pressure.
It begins with safety.

And also:
You are allowed to start slowly.

Starting slow may mean choosing and creating the steps that feel steady for your nervous system.

You’ll know you’re doing that when the parts of you that are demanding, critical, shaming or distressing are not the primary motivators in how you show up. Those parts will be on the sidelines and not so front and center.

This is true whether you are working on healing as an individual, as a couple or as a family.

Healing is not a competition, a comparison,
a race nor is it about appeasing anyone,
meeting a deadline, or any “shoulds,” “should-be’s” “have-to’s” and/or “musts.”

Healing is not demanding, demeaning, nor just a destination.

So. Perhaps you’re not late. Perhaps you’re listening.

Listening to your:
Body. Mind. Soul. Spirit.

You’re listening to what you might need.

May this year be about that - less pressure to perform, more listening to what your nervous system may be saying to you and being OK with a different timeline that’s slow, safe and secure.

You’re not late. You’re listening.

What a nurturing way to start the New Year!

There's a lot more that can be said about how we experience the last day of the year. What we hope you'll do is not compare your life with anyone else's and not fall into the feelings of disappointment, despair or any other difficult feelings and emotions that may come up, especially if you find yourself comparing your life with someone else's.

While those feelings and emotions give us data about what we're experiencing - it's not the whole story. Be gentle with yourself. That is what we desire for you on this last day of 2025: a gentle close to the year.

See you in 2026!
