Please share with anyone who could benefit! A Memory Grows ❤️‍🩹

Limited rooms are available for two of the A Memory Grows Fall 2026 Retreats. Our retreats provide a time away from the day to day stresses of life an offer a safe space to just be as we navigate the journey of deep grief and unending love. The death of a child at any age or stage is out of order and is extremely lonely. A Memory Grows provides opportunities for parents to connect with other parents who understand this type of loss and offers tools for continued bonds and connection with our children as we carry them with us throughout each moment, every day.

The October Retreat for Infant Loss is for parents who have experienced miscarriage, stillbirth or early infant death up to 18 months old. Currently 2 rooms are available for this retreat. https://amemorygrows.org/event/october-infant-loss-retreat/

The November Retreat for Homicide Loss currently has 3 rooms available. https://amemorygrows.org/.../november-homicide-loss-retreat/

The registration fee covers all lodging (private rooms with ensuite bathrooms), materials, meals, facilitation, time with a Licensed Professional Counselor, artist and an optional Yoga for Grief session.

Limited scholarships are available by request.

We would be honored to spend this time with you and hope to hear from you soon!

In 2021, I became a member of the Vilomah Club, where membership is granted only to parents who have walked through the unthinkable.

My heart was marked in a way that time does not erase. I learned how grief can sit beside joy, how love can stretch across realms, and how healing is not a destination but a rhythm, one I’m still learning to dance with.

This club has taught me that even in the deepest sorrow, connection is possible, and that my child’s light continues to shape my life in quiet, powerful ways.

Being Vilomah means understanding the invisible weight so many carry, and using my voice to help others feel seen, supported, and less alone. It is a role that calls me to transform pain into purpose, and to help build communities where grief is not hidden, but honored.

August 30, 2026 is National Grief Awareness Day ❤️‍🩹

It is recognized annually to encourage open conversations about grief, loss, and bereavement.

Ways to Observe and Support Others

If you are supporting a loved one or navigating your own healing journey, consider these key approaches:
✅ Check In: Reach out and send a kind message or offer to listen to a friend who is carrying a loss.
✅ Practice Grace: Give yourself or others permission to feel conflicting emotions, including anger, numbness, or even momentary joy.
✅ Say their name: Too often, individuals do not get to hear their loved one’s name(s) after they have died.
✅ Listen Without Fixing: Avoid clichés or advice; simply offer a compassionate, judgment-free space for them to share.
✅ Practice self-care: Acknowledge your own feelings and give yourself grace.
✅ Honor the Loss: Share stories, plant trees, light a candle, or create a memory box to celebrate what was lost. If it was a person, say their name.
✅ Educate yourself: Learn about the complex nature of the grieving process to better support yourself and others.

About the Day

➡️ Founded: Established in 2014 by Grief Advocate Angie Cartwright after she experienced multiple devastating personal losses of her sister, husband, and mother. It was after these that she noticed a societal expectation to "move on" too quickly.
➡️ The Goal: Normalizing the difficult conversations around loss so that grieving individuals do not feel isolated or like a burden to others.
➡️ Broad Purpose: To break the silence around grieving, eliminate stigmas, and validate that grief stems from many life events, not just the death of a loved one, but also job loss, divorce, chronic illness diagnosis, losing independence, or major life changes.
➡️ Core Message: Grief has no set timeline or correct path; it is a personal and universal experience.

Your healing matters. Your story matters. And you don’t have to walk this path alone.

Grief Doesn’t Have a Look

Grief is an internal experience, not just an external presentation. It can’t be measured by tears, silence, productivity, or the absence of all three. It’s a human response to loss that shows up in countless ways, many of them invisible.

Grief is not a facial expression, a posture, or a predictable emotional script. It’s a whole‑body, whole‑life experience that can appear as:
➡️ Exhaustion: even when someone looks “fine”
➡️ Numbness: a protective response, not a lack of caring
➡️ Overfunctioning: staying busy to avoid emotional overwhelm
➡️ Laughter: a release valve, not disrespect
➡️ Silence: processing, not withdrawal
➡️ Irritability: emotional overload, not anger at others

None of these “looks” tell the full story. They’re simply expressions of an internal landscape that is shifting, aching, and trying to find its footing.

Why This Matters?

Because when people believe grief has a look, they also believe:
➡️ “If you’re not crying, you’re okay.”
➡️ “If you’re functioning, you’re over it.”
➡️ “If you’re smiling, you’ve moved on.”
These assumptions create harm, silence, and pressure. They make people feel they must perform grief to be believed, or hide it to avoid judgment.

Naming that grief has no single look gives people permission to:
✅ Feel what they feel
✅ Express it how they express it
✅ Move through grief without performing it for others
✅ Be supported even when their grief is invisible

Remember grief is not a performance, it’s an internal experience shaped by love, loss, identity, and the nervous system. It shows up differently in every person, every body, and every season of life.

During National Grief Awareness Month we’re reminded that grief doesn’t have a look, it lives quietly in our bodies, our routines, and the spaces we move through every day.

This month calls us to honor those unseen experiences with compassion and community. In our Grief Healing Circles, we hold space for exactly that: a place where grief can be named without judgment, carried without performance, and supported with presence.

Our goal at Grief Journey LLC is to continue creating environments where every form of grief is welcomed, witnessed, and held with care.

When was the last time you had grass underneath your feet? 👣

🌱 Why It Feels So Good 🍃

There’s something deeply human about grass under your feet.

➡️ It reconnects you to nature and slows your breathing
➡️ It pulls you out of your head and into your body
➡️ It reminds you that you’re part of something larger

For someone grieving, grounding can be a gentle, accessible way to regulate the nervous system and create moments of calm.
