Tell us about someone you miss.
If you feel comfortable sharing, tell us a little about someone youโ€™ve lost and what you miss most about them. It could be: - their personality - something funny they used to do - a memory you replay often - a phrase they always said - or simply the way they made you feel loved Sometimes keeping their memory alive by speaking about them matters more than people realize.

I miss my son Gage and his sometimes inappropriate comments, his smile, his voice...everything really. Everything except his addiction.
Iโ€™ve been a little quiet lately
Some days grief is loud and obvious.Other days it just makes you pull back from everything for a while. Iโ€™m learning that healing isnโ€™t linear and neither is showing up for life, for people or even for yourself some days. But Iโ€™m glad this space is here. How have you really been lately?

Whatโ€™s a memory that still makes you smile instantly?
Grief is heavy, but sometimes the memories that hurt the most are also the ones that make us laugh unexpectedly or smile out of nowhere. A phrase they always said. A weird habit. A song. A funny story nobody else would understand. Whatโ€™s a memory that still makes you smile when you think about them? ๐Ÿค

For me, one of the things that always makes me smile is remembering how funny Gage could be without even trying. Some of the moments I replay most are the completely ordinary ones that didnโ€™t seem important at the time but mean everything now. ๐Ÿค
Whatโ€™s something grief made harder that nobody really talks about?
Not just the big things. The small everyday things too. Concentrating. Making simple decisions. Answering messages. Walking into stores. Listening to people complain about things that suddenly feel so unimportant. Grief changes ordinary life in ways people donโ€™t always see. Whatโ€™s something that became unexpectedly hard for you? ๐Ÿค

For me, one of the hardest parts has been how strange it feels when the rest of the world keeps moving normally after my world completely changed. After losing Gage, even ordinary things suddenly felt meaningless on a lot of days.

@Brooke Ramirez yes this has been so difficult. He struggled for 13 years with addiction so there are so may what if's.
Whatโ€™s something grief made you appreciate more?
For me, itโ€™s ordinary moments. A normal day used to feel insignificant. Now I understand how valuable those quiet, uneventful moments really are. Grief changes perspective in ways you never expect. Even small answers count. ๐Ÿค
