New Chapter in Grief Advocacy: Writing for Healing Roots Support

New Chapter in Grief Advocacy: Writing for Healing Roots Support 🌿

I’m incredibly honored to share that I’ve joined the Healing Roots Support team as a contributing writer. Healing Roots is a compassionate grief support organization dedicated to helping individuals and families navigate the lifelong journey of loss. Founded by Dr. Katie Wiggins, Healing Roots offers a safe and affirming space for those grieving the death of a loved one—especially sudden, traumatic, and out-of-order deaths.

Their work is deeply aligned with everything I believe in: validating the messy, nonlinear truth of grief and holding space for healing that honors the whole person—mind, body, and spirit. Whether it's through support groups, educational resources, or shared stories, Healing Roots makes sure no one has to grieve alone.

My first article with them is now live, and it’s titled:

“When the Boxes Multiply: Living with Layered Grief.”

In this piece, I open up about the unique pain of carrying multiple kinds of grief at once—how it feels when loss piles up and life keeps moving, and how hard it is to make room for healing when the world only seems to expect resilience.

Expanding the Ball in the Box Theory to Make Room for Real Life

This collaboration means so much to me, and I truly hope my words offer comfort to those walking through the darkest parts of their grief. Thank you for continuing to walk with me, to read with me, and to believe in the power of storytelling as a healing tool.

With love and purpose,
