Grief can shrink your capacity, especially socially. And yet, so many people feel pressure to keep showing up like nothing has changed.

In this video, we explore what happens when you stop pushing through—and start honoring your energy instead.

Grief isn’t a problem to solve—it’s something we learn to live with.

In a world that pushes us to “move on” or “get over it,” many people feel like they’re doing grief wrong. But what if the invitation isn’t to fix it… but to get curious about it?

In this video, we explore how shifting from resistance to curiosity can change your relationship with grief—and help you begin to carry it with more compassion.

✨ You’re not broken. Your grief is part of your story now.

You Don’t Have to Explain Your Rituals.

There was a time when grievers were told to ..
‘Let go’.
“Move on’

But now we know that keeping some kind of connection
Is a healthier way to grieve.

And not everyone will understand the ways you choose to do that.

Perhaps you keep something of theirs close to you…
I kept one of my husband’s fleecy sweaters. When I wear it feels like a warm hug from him.

Or perhaps you like to drive to a place that reminds you of them.
Or even, and I still do this 8 years later, talk to them.

These rituals are what help support you.

No one needs to know you still ask your loved one questions,
or tell them how your day has been.
But if it brings comfort to you,
Keep doing it.

We have to remember that until someone has experienced grief,
They really don’t know what it feels like.
So to others, some of these small rituals,
Can seem a little odd.

Don’t worry about what others think.

These rituals are your way of keeping connected to your loved one.
They might change over time,
Lessen, or even fall away,

But for now…
Think of them as a way you express your love.

What if “time heals all wounds” is one of the most harmful things we say to grieving people?

Because healing doesn’t come from time—it comes from what we do with it.

If time really healed grief, you wouldn’t still feel this way.
The truth? Nothing is “wrong” with you.
Grief doesn’t disappear with time—it changes, deepens, and becomes part of you.

People often say “time heals all wounds” to comfort those who are grieving—but that’s not how grief works.Time passes, but healing comes from processing, support, and becoming an active participant in what happens next.

If you’re still hurting, you’re not doing it wrong—you’re human.

Not All rituals Are Planned

When we hear the word ritual,
We tend to think of something big.
Perhaps a weekly visit to the cemetery,
Or an anniversary family gathering.

But rituals can be something small…
And meaningful.

It might be as simple as lighting a candle every night.
I did this for a few years.
Or perhaps you go for a walk to their favourite spot,
Or play a favourite tune of theirs.

A ritual is a way of acknowledging your person.
A way of keeping your connection
And a way to hold both loss and gratitude at the same time.

Pick something that is meaningful to you.
No one else has to know about it.
It can be your own special time
To connect with your loved one.

✨Do you have something like this that you do?✨
