Born from loss, rooted in love, and in honour of Kahlia

Welcome to The Place That Grief Made

You didn’t land here by accident.

You’re here because something tore your world apart, and you needed a place where that truth could be spoken out loud.

Maybe it was a loss.
Maybe it’s someone you love who’s grieving.
Maybe you’re a therapist, a friend, a parent; trying to understand what this ache really is.
Or maybe the silence around death just got too loud.

Whatever brought you here, you needed a space where things don’t have to be okay to be real.
This is that space.

This is where I lay it down, the rage, the ache, the softness, the survival.
This is where I tell the truth about loss in a world that keeps asking you to move on.

You won’t find neat stages here.
No five steps. No silver linings.

But if you’re looking for a place to sit with your sorrow, to let it breathe; then your home.

This isn’t a site about grief.
It’s a site that grieves with you.

So come in.
Stay as long as you need.
There’s coffee on the table, no pressure to speak, and absolutely no need to pretend.

Just a hand to hold.
A space to fall apart.
And someone to remind you:

You don’t have to be any version of yourself other than the one that’s here right now.
Raw. Tender. Messy. Surviving.
