Hey friend,
I want to talk about the things we feel we have to hide.
Maybe you’re grieving a relationship that ended, a dream that didn’t come true, a pet who was your whole world, or even the loss of the person you used to be. Sometimes, the world doesn’t give us a "reason" to have a funeral, so we feel like we aren't allowed to be heartbroken.
In the therapy world, they call this disenfranchised grief. But in our world—here in this sanctuary—we just call it heavy.
If you’ve been telling yourself, "I shouldn't feel this way," or "Others have it worse," I’m here to gently tell you: If it’s heavy to you, it’s heavy. Period. You don't need permission to mourn what is missing.
When we try to "fix" our grief or tuck it away because it feels "too small" or "too complicated" for others to understand, we just end up lonelier. But your heart wasn't meant to carry the noise of "what ifs" and "why me's" all by itself.
I know the fog can feel thick today. I know your thoughts might feel like a tangled web that you can't quite unknot.
Because I’ve been in that fog too, I created something for us. It’s a Think Session—a quiet, faith-based space designed to help you sit with your thoughts without judgment. It’s not about "getting over it"; it's about giving your grief a place to breathe.
It is my free gift to you. No pressure, no noise—just a tool to help you find a little bit of clarity in the middle of the mess.

Take a deep breath. You are seen, your loss is valid, and you are so very loved.
Be gentle with yourself today,
-Lita Renee
