Grief doesn’t follow a rulebook.
You simply try to learn what you can from something you cannot change.
One of the things this past year has reminded me is how much the small, ordinary moments matter. Conversations around the kitchen table. Familiar routines. A quick phone call. Time with the people we love that once felt ordinary… until we realize how meaningful it truly was.
It has also reminded me how heavy loss can feel in ways people do not always talk about.
The emotional weight. The practical responsibilities. The decisions that suddenly feel harder than they used to.
My hope is that these experiences make me more compassionate when someone I know loses a loved one… and more equipped to walk alongside clients navigating both the financial and emotional realities that loss can bring.
If this resonates with you, I’d love for you to share a memory of someone you miss, or a lesson grief has taught you. And if you know someone walking through loss right now, consider sharing this with them so they know they’re not alone.
