Julie SpearsThe quiet isolation following child loss often leads to mere survival, masking a deeper disconnect. Learn how grief's protective mechanisms can inadvertently silence your inner voice and obscure who you truly are. Discover the power of creating dedicated space to acknowledge your authentic self and reconnect with others, without needing a rigid plan or feeling fully "ready."
Julie SpearsWhen it feels impossible to get up or keep going, know this: survival is enough for today. You don’t need a plan, a timeline, or to have it all together. Grief changes everything—from your body to your identity—and just waking up each day is a courageous act. You’re not a failure for feeling lost. You’re human. Some days, stillness is strength. And when you’re ready, healing begins not by running from the pain, but by gently stepping into it. You didn’t choose this journey, but you can choose how you live within it. You matter. Your healing matters. And you’re not alone.
