This is what I wish people knew about grief.

I wish people knew grief has no finish line. It doesn’t follow a calendar or obey anyone’s timeline. Progress looks like crying for a few minutes instead of a few hours.

I wish people knew triggers are everywhere and never fully go away. A poinsettia. A package of toilet paper. An emergency contact form. Ordinary things become extraordinary in their power to break you open.

I wish people knew loving again doesn’t mean moving on. Love is infinite as it expands and makes room. One love doesn’t erase another. It never could.

I wish people knew you can be happy and heartbroken at the same time. Grief carved out space I never knew I had, and joy fills it too. A full life and a hollow heart aren’t opposites.

I wish people knew your mindset in grief becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. When you look for three good things each day, even just a good cup of coffee, the percentage of days that feel okay slowly starts to climb.

I wish people knew surviving the worst changes your relationship with risk. It’s not fearlessness, it’s perspective. Loss has a strange way of making you bolder.

I wish people knew letting go of old traditions isn’t a betrayal. Moving forward isn’t the same as leaving someone behind. Life evolves because it has to.

I wish people knew a broken life can still be a beautiful one. You don’t get to choose the hard things. But you do get to choose what you do next. 🌸

What else do you wish people knew about grief?

“I didn’t want to write a self-help book. Who am I to tell anyone what to do? But I can tell you what I did.” 💐

I joined Jackson and Mattea on to share my memoir, five years of grief, growth, and finding joy again after losing my husband unexpectedly. My message? There’s no right or wrong way through the hard things. Give grace. To others, and to yourself.

I still can’t believe people are saying this about my book, Flowers Bloom Anyway.

I wrote it from a place I never wanted to be in and just trying to make sense of what life became.

To see it meet you in your own stories, your own grief, your own healing…that’s something I don’t take lightly.

Thank you for reading. For sharing. For letting this book be part of your life. 🤍

If you’re looking to get a copy, you can find it on , , and .

And if you’ve already read it, leaving a review on or wherever you purchased it truly means more than you know.

Most people do not know how to show up for someone who is grieving. I did not either, until I became the one who was grieving.

After I lost my husband Josh, I learned quickly what helps and what hurts.

Not from a book. From living it.

So here is what I want you to know the next time you are trying to show up for someone you love.

Ask how they are doing TODAY. Not just “how are you” but today. Grief is not a straight line.

Talk about how they LIVED. Ask about them. Ask about the stories, the memories, the things that made them unique. I would rather tell you how he lived than how he died.

And try the Platinum Rule. Not the Golden Rule. Do not treat people the way you would want to be treated. Treat them the way THEY want to be treated. Then listen.

I go deeper on all of this in my book, Flowers Bloom Anyway.

If any of this resonates, come follow along and grab a copy.

So excited to have been featured on with the Garden Guy, 🌸

We chatted all about why locally grown flowers matter, what’s in season, and how we work with brides to build the perfect bouquet from what’s actually blooming.

Thank you Dale and Fox9 Good Day for coming out to the farm and sharing our story!🌷
