Grief can show up in the most unexpected places, at the most inconvenient times- often in ways we never expected. It is a process of learning to walk again- but remember, as a child learning on unsteady feet, we too can reach for help to steady us.

There are many types of grief-
the grief of losing someone,
the grief of change,
the grief that comes quietly and doesn’t always have a name.

Some people need space to talk
some people need to move, create or just sit with others who understand
