Unraveling & Redefining Strength:

Note: Travel in Peace is a space for both outer and inner journeys. Some conversations, like this one, go into the deeper terrain of grief, loss, and meaning-making.In my second video with Esther, we explore how the loss of a child reshapes our relationships—and how, even surrounded by people, grief can feel deeply isolating. When our pain is too much for others to witness, it can leave us feeling even more alone.We share what truly helped: being seen, having our grief witnessed, and hearing others reflect the life and impact of the person we lost. We also speak honestly about what can feel painful or retraumatizing—when support lacks sensitivity or attunement.This conversation is about learning to live differently in grief—with more gentleness, compassion, and truth—and discovering that healing isn’t about fixing the pain, but about being held in it.Please share with anyone you feel might benefit from this message.With Peace & Gratitude,Laurel Get full access to Lost & Found- Discovering Yourself After Loss at laurelosullivanjd.substack.com/subscribe
