You’re holding it all together… and quietly falling apart.
You’re the go-to person. The one who keeps everything running.
But inside? You’re exhausted.
Snapping.
Crying in the shower.
And wondering:
“If I stopped doing it all… would anyone even notice?”

This doesn’t have to be your normal.
Let’s talk about what healing can look like.

Life After Loss: Living Through One Long Transition

Life after loss is rarely a single moment of change — it’s an ongoing transition. When we lose someone we love, we lose more than their presence. We often lose the routines, roles, and sense of identity that were built around that relationship. Suddenly, we’re left trying to navigate a world that feels unfamiliar, even though it’s the same one we lived in yesterday.

Grief, in many ways, is the process of reconstruction. It’s learning how to live within new routines, how to redefine ourselves, and how to hold onto love in a world that has been altered. These transitions can be disorienting and exhausting — filled with moments of numbness, confusion, and unexpected waves of emotion. And yet, within this long transition, healing is not about letting go of the person we lost, but about finding a new way to carry the love and meaning they gave us.

Transitions reveal patterns.

Change asks the psyche to reorganize itself. Old identities, roles and ways of being start to fall away before new ones fully take shape. That “in-between” space — where one chapter is closing and the next hasn’t quite begun — can feel uncertain, but it’s also rich with possibility.

As someone who has moved many times in my life, I am pretty friendly with transition at this point. I know what it stirs up within, and I know the "life cycle" that it runs before I start to feel grounded in this new place again.

I didn't always know this, though. Often times, major transitions (or even many smaller ones) stir up emotions that don't seem to make sense. They can echo earlier experiences of change, instability or separation. In this way, transitions can bring forward unfinished emotional business that’s asking to be seen and worked through.

In therapy, this process is held gently. The therapeutic relationship becomes a container, or a space to reflect on what’s shifting, to name what’s being lost, and to listen for what’s trying to emerge.

Because sometimes, what looks like unraveling is really a kind of becoming.

An initiation into a deeper, more integrated version of who you are.
