Two Versions.
There are two versions of me now.
There is the one who goes to work, buys groceries, answers emails, and smiles back when spoken to. The one the world sees.
Then there is the one who sits in the quiet of the car, staring at the dashboard, wondering how life keeps moving forward when mine was forever changed.
Grief creates this split.
We learn how to function while carrying something unimaginably heavy. We show up, participate, and keep going, all while holding an absence that never leaves us.
What people don’t always see is the energy it takes to appear okay. The effort required to walk through ordinary moments when the ground beneath you still feels unsteady. When part of you is still trying to make sense of a reality you never wanted.
Some days, surviving the day is the accomplishment.
It is exhausting to perform normalcy when your entire world has been permanently altered.
At The Grief Club of Minnesota, we hold space for all of it~the moments when you are moving forward, the moments when you are simply getting through, and everything in between 🧡

Today we hold gratitude for those who served our country, along with the love for those we miss.
We are deeply grateful for two meaningful additions to our healing outdoor space: a Wind Phone and a memorial bench.
The Wind Phone is a concept that invites people to speak messages to those they love and miss, trusting the wind to carry their words onward. It was gifted in memory of a young married couple who died unexpectedly, leaving behind their young children.
We are also honored to receive another memorial bench dedicated by a mother in memory of her 16-year-old son, offering a place of calm and reflection.
Together, these gifts bring even more intentional space for love to be honored at The Grief Club 🧡

The Grief Club of Minnesota is for families, young kids and teens who have lost a parent or loved one and are dealing with grief.
When I was 20, my dad passed away of a sudden heart attack. Dealing with grief is something I’m still dealing with. So that, combined with the fact that I’m so proud of my mom making it into a positive, and joining the Club, becoming a part of the board of directors, and working with the Club, is why I chose this cause.
