The Grief We Don’t Talk About—But Need To

Has life felt like a constant stream of losses lately?

Maybe something unexpected happened—like the death of a loved one or a difficult diagnosis from your doctor. Then came challenges at work, tension in your relationships, or a sense of not being seen or valued by others. These small but painful moments build up. You start to feel anxious, disconnected, or overwhelmed. You avoid friends. You drift from your routines. And inside, you feel like screaming—but you hold it all together with sheer force of will.

Here’s the truth:
We’re not created to soldier through crisis after crisis without support. Our emotions are meant to be felt, acknowledged, and expressed—not buried.

Grief is a natural response to the emotional pain of loss. And yet, many of us have never been taught how to navigate it.

Why We Stay Silent

Our culture tells us to wear the mask.
Be strong. Stay confident. Don’t let anyone see your confusion or unraveling.

But the reality is—we need to pause.
We need to listen to what our body, mind, and soul are trying to tell us. We need to learn how to recognize grief and how to walk through it.

The Tools We Were Never Taught

Grief doesn’t only follow death. It follows any kind of loss:
- Loss of health
- Loss of identity
- Loss of dreams, safety, or belonging
- The slow erosion of connection or purpose

And yet, we’re told to keep going. Stay busy. Be productive.

But unprocessed grief doesn’t disappear—it hides.
In our bodies.
In our habits.
In our relationships.
Even in the way we show up for others.

According to the Grief Recovery Institute, the average person will experience more than 40 significant losses over a lifetime—and yet very few receive any guidance on how to heal.

We need better tools. That’s why this next part matters.

A New Approach: Transforming Grief into Growth

The Transforming Grief into Growth course was created for professionals, coaches, and facilitators, who want to support others through grief—while learning to navigate their own.

This online, grief-informed training walks you through a compassionate, step-by-step process to help yourself and others:
1. Acknowledge losses and the emotions that come with them
2. Evaluate beliefs about grief, identity, and healing
3. Practice presence, so pain can move and be released

This framework helps you support clients, family members, or communities with greater confidence and empathy—while also taking care of yourself.

Why Now?

The past few years have cracked open a deeper awareness of just how much grief people are carrying—from personal loss to collective trauma.

But grief isn’t something to fix.
It’s something to name, feel, and move through.

When we do, we don’t just survive—we grow. We begin to live more fully, even after loss.

That’s what Transforming Grief into Growth offers:
Tools to help others—by first helping yourself.

Are You (or Someone You Know) Carrying Unseen Grief?

Take a breath.
And ask yourself:
- What loss or losses am I still holding onto?
- Do I have the tools to process them in a healthy, empowering way?
- Am I ready to walk with others through their own grief journey?

Grief work begins within.
When we heal ourselves, we become a safe space for others to do the same.
