How are we supposed to feel the Christmas spirit when we've lost a beloved person? Can holiday magic and grief coexist?

Let’s talk about the different roles we play in family or community grief. Do any of these temporary grief archetypes sound like you?

If you are grieving the death of a parent or a loved one, your grief might feel even worse in September.

What does grief do to your past trauma? What happens to unresolved trauma after your parent dies? Is it time to change your life?

If you know someone grieving a death, this post is for you. If you are the person in grief, send this post to your trusted people.

When my mom died, life simply stopped. Her death snipped the thread that held me to the earth, to a life where I could see possibilities ahead.

I recently heard someone say “grief needs a witness” in a YouTube video. But to be told there is something essential we need in order to heal our grieving hearts feels like a kick in the teeth.

Are you still beating yourself up over things you said or did when your parent who died was alive? It's time to forgive yourself.
