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 exist 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 are more than welcome to explore, to read, to write and to belong in a place
where it is okay to be real.
This is that space.
Not sure where to start?
What’s New in This Space
Small updates, big feelings - the latest from This is Grief.
This week has held a lot of outward movement; books travelling, conversations widening, and new support resources opening - all alongside the same quiet, ongoing heart of this work.
Here’s what’s been unfolding.
• The Year After Kahlia - Officially Launched
The launch was full; of people, of stories, of care. Thank you to everyone who came, who travelled, who stood beside this book as it stepped into the world. It was equal parts surreal and grounding.
• 28-Day Writing Companion - Now Open
The self-paced 28-day grief writing course has officially opened. Designed as a steady companion, it offers structure without pressure; daily invitations you can begin whenever you’re ready.
• Podcast Conversations Continuing
The conversations keep widening. Each one feels like another small door opening; less about promotion, more about normalising the truth of grief.
• Aoake Te Rā & Community Connections
A meaningful conversation with Aoake Te Rā, and ongoing discussions about how this work can support suicide loss communities more intentionally.
• Libraries & Bookshops
Auckland and Wellington Libraries are stocking the book. Schrödinger’s Books in Wellington as well. Seeing the book move into public and community spaces feels quietly significant.
• New on the Blog “The Empty Space”
A reflection on what remains after the noise fades; the part of grief that lingers long after the world moves on.
This work keeps moving - not fast, not loud; but rooted and real.
Thank you for walking beside me through all the chapters - the ones already written, and the ones still finding their voice.
