I’m here because I've seen how tending to my grief has allowed me to show up more fully in all my relationships—whether with myself, others, or life itself.
I'm here because I want to connect with the deepest parts of who I am while holding space for others in their own shadows.
I'm here because I recognize the power of reflecting on the past to live fully in the present, appreciating what is, while also looking ahead to a future I care about.
Thanks to you, I’m learning to dance with grief, anticipation, and every emotion in between. Thank you for being here too!
I am here because I feel grief in my heart and only truly know that is when I allow it to manifest itself and I share it with another, or with others. I’m here on this Substack page as I’m sometimes nervous of sharing my grief, yet when I do I feel grateful for the holding space and those who hold it, and I appreciate myself for my courage in sharing. Having shared recently I am reminded of what matters to me, what deeply value, and how strongly I feel that death should be spoken of more openly. I am approaching my own death and through opening to that reality I feel more fully alive and love the vitality I experience.
And finally I am here because I appreciate you Nici and what you offer to us who grief.
