Grief changed everything for me.
Not just one part of my life… but my entire identity.
I had to learn how to exist in a world that felt completely different than the one I knew before. In the middle of that, I started searching for peace, for meaning, for myself. That search led me to travel, to study meditation, to sit with different cultures, and to actually practice what I was learning instead of just surviving the days.
Slowly, I started to come back to myself.
And now, I get to hold space for others who are doing the same, moving through stress, anxiety, grief, and the moments in life when everything can feel like too much.
During Su***de Prevention Week, I think about how important it is to remind people that they don’t have to carry those moments alone. Sometimes finding a way through doesn’t mean having everything figured out. Sometimes it starts with one conversation, one person willing to listen, one safe place to exhale, or simply having someone remind you that what you’re feeling doesn’t have to be where your story ends.
My own experience with grief taught me that healing isn’t about forgetting the pain. It’s about learning how to keep living alongside it, finding meaning again, and slowly reconnecting with the parts of yourself you thought were gone.
Seeing the way these practices help people is what keeps me going.
This is why I believe creating spaces for people to release, connect, and feel supported matters. You matter ✨💕🫶
