I have experienced a lot of loss in my life. Friends, Uncles, Aunts but in 2023 I experienced the loss that broke me in a way I didn't think was possible. My grandpa died and a part of me went with him. He was always my favorite human and I didn't know how I was supposed to live in this world with out him.
His death made me realize we are in a society that isn't built for those grieving. So I decided to create one.
"It was his time."
"That's just a part of life."
The Spirit of This Space
Some people here lost someone they deeply loved. Some lost someone complicated. Some are grieving what never got to exist in the first place. All of it belongs here.
We don’t judge grief here. There is no “right” way to mourn, process, heal, rage, laugh, or survive. Some people are shattered. Some are numb. Some are angry. Some are relieved. All of it belongs here. We allow people to grieve differently than we would.
We are not therapists, experts, or gurus. We’re humans navigating loss together. This space isn’t about fixing people. It’s about witnessing, supporting, and reminding each other we aren’t alone. We share experiences, not prescriptions.
You don’t have to pretend to have it together here. Grief is messy, contradictory, uncomfortable, and deeply human. You don’t need to clean it up before bringing it here. No toxic positivity. No pressure to heal on a timeline. This space makes room for complicated grief, complicated relationships, and complicated emotions.
The Company is not a licensed medical provider, therapist, counselor, psychologist,
psychiatrist, or crisis intervention service. Read our Terms and Conditions here.
"It is someone's fault!"
"I manage your emotions over trivial shit. It hurt "
Whether it's to the living or the dead, there is a lot that goes unsaid when we lose someone. Some how while managing everything that grief throws our way and still having to maintain "life," it also becomes our responsibility to honor the dead and keep the living comfortable. When sometimes you just want to scream, "I cannot believe you left me this mess. I am so mad at you!" or "Do not compare the death of my daddy to the death of your fucking dog!"
This is where you can say those things. Where you can leave a message that will not only feel therapeutic but possibly help someone else.
