About

Grief Gracefil is born from personal experiences of loss and feeling immensely helpless watching people in my life maneuver the journey in darkness. Grief Gracefil accompanies those who are journeying with those experiencing grief.  Grief Gracefil also journeys with those who are grieving directly. Grief is born out of love and is a painful journey we will all experience at some time in our lives. We each experience loss differently depending on who we lost and where we are in our personal life journey.

When my sister lost her son to suicide, I grieved intensely for my young nephew. More important than my own grief was accompanying my sister in her journey of grief. I had no idea what to do, and I spiraled into depression when she became addicted to opiates. I began writing about our history and grief journey to cope. I will always wonder if I knew how to accompany her on the journey if she would have fallen into addiction and despair. Grief can be an experience of could have, should have, would have, and my goal with Grief Gracefil is to ease the pain on both sides of the grief journey.
