I’ve always lived my life according to my heart … until I discovered that there are people out there who are threatened by my heartbeat and pace, and they don’t even understand that - it’s me against me, not me vs. them! And when I am whole - because that is my only goal, ever, I give back. But there are people out there who just take and want more, and I’ve lost so much! I have not been able to see my daughters for three years! - navigating a brutal divorce. And I have been left to try and understand if any part of motherhood is meant to be mine anymore. The hardest challenge I have ever faced was grief, because of what was actually taken from me. I was left powerless in a way that I’ve never been before. It has taken me five years to find a sliver of my light. I feel I can grow into my whole life again, and the only way I know I won’t lose it again is to send a message: I will be silent no longer. No more money spent on lawyers who drag things out. No more quiet complicity about how “the other side” is alienating, withholding, extorting… NO MORE. We feel alone when solitude is exactly what we need. But we are not alone - we just happen to not be in a position within ourselves to recognize that. It’s has taken me a long time to realize that, and it’s also taken me that long to know exactly who I want to share my peace with and who I will never allow to disturb my peace again. So I’ve decided to create this community, something I’ve never considered before, but I recognize the necessity of learning what it is to be the right kind of powerful.

If you’re here, it likely means you’re carrying some form of grief. I’m truly sorry for whatever brought you to this space. This community was created to be a quiet corner of support - somewhere people can talk, listen, or simply sit with others who understand that grief doesn’t follow a timeline. I’ve spent many years walking through my own experiences with loss, and along the way I learned how powerful it can be to not feel alone in it. That’s the reason this space exists. You’re welcome to share as much or as little as you feel comfortable with. My hope for this community: open conversations about grief, group discussions and support, and the option for one-on-one conversations if you ever need a little extra space to talk. There is no pressure here - just people supporting people. If you feel comfortable, you’re welcome to introduce yourself or share what brought you here. And if today isn’t the day for that, simply being here is enough. Take your time, be gentle with yourself, and know that you are welcome here just as you are. 💛
