💐 Grieving & Growing: Making Space for What Was Lost

Loss doesn’t always look like death. It can be the end of a friendship, a job, a version of yourself, or a dream you held close. This week, we honor all forms of grief—big and small—and create space for healing and growth to coexist.
In our Let’s Talk sessions, we can see that: "Healing isn’t linear, and neither is grief." You’re allowed to feel joy and sadness in the same breath. You’re allowed to grieve what something others may not understand. And you’re allowed to grow while still holding space for what hurt.
💬 In this week’s Let's Talk Conversations, we’ll explore:
What grief looks like in our everyday lives
How unprocessed loss shows up in our bodies and minds
Gentle ways to honor what we’ve lost without losing ourselves
📝 As always, we’ll share journaling prompts to guide your reflection and open-hearted discussion to remind you—you are not alone.
