One of the hardest parts of grief is realising that the world keeps going. People return to routines. Conversations shift. Life moves forward — and you can feel left behind, standing still while everything else carries on.
Loss changes more than we expect.
Grief has no calendar.
So many people arrive carrying the same quiet belief: I have to be strong.
For a long time, happiness felt like the wrong word. After loss, it can sound careless, unrealistic, or even disloyal. When you’re grieving, happiness isn’t something you chase – it’s often something you quietly avoid, unsure if you’re allowed to feel it anymore. And yet, grief has taught me more about happiness than anything else in my life. Not the loud, glossy version we’re often sold – but a gentler, truer kind.
I’m really glad you’re here. If you’ve found your way here, there’s a good chance you’re carrying something heavy, asking quiet questions, or simply looking for a space that feels safe, human and kind. This blog is here for you.
