Walking Through Grief: My Journey to Finding Peace

I want to share something deeply personal about my journey through grief—a path marked by loss, learning, and eventual healing. When my dad was diagnosed with terminal cancer, my life was already in a whirlwind with the birth of my second child. The mix of new life and the prospect of losing my dad hit me harder than I could have ever imagined.

Those years after his diagnosis were tough. I walked around in a fog, consumed by anxiety and fear. I wasn't really living; I was just existing, going through the motions without truly engaging with the world or even my family. It took a heart-to-heart with my husband to make me realize I needed to change. His support during that conversation was the lifeline I desperately needed.

Going to therapy felt like diving into deep water, but it was there that my healing began. I learned so much about myself and how to cope with my grief. Here are some nuggets of wisdom that really helped me, and I hope they can help you too...

It's Okay to Feel

Learning to let myself feel whatever came up without judgment was liberating. You don’t always have to hold it together.

Joy and Grief Can Live Together

Finding little moments of happiness doesn't mean I forgot about my dad. It means I’m learning to live with his memory.

Living in the Now

I started to focus on the present—like really being in the moment, which brought me back to life.

Taking Control

Realizing that grief didn't have to control my life was a game-changer. I decided I was going to live fully, despite my loss.

These lessons became the backbone of something very special I created called Befriend Your Grief. This course is born from everything I learned on my journey—it’s packed with all the tools, strategies, and heartfelt advice that helped me navigate through my darkest days and could possibly help you too.

If my story resonates with you or if you’re struggling with grief, I really encourage you to check out the course. It’s more than just lessons; it's a community of support and understanding, a place where we walk through this together.

Thank you for letting me share my heart with you. Remember, you're not alone on this journey. We're in this together, every step of the way.
