Send us Fan MailHey friend… can we talk about grief for a moment?Not the polished, “I’m fine” version we tell people at the grocery store — but the real kind.The kind that shows up when you’re folding laundry… or driving… or minding your own business eating snacks at 11 p.m.Grief isn’t just about losing someone we love — although that one hits deep.Sometimes we grieve a relationship that changed, a season that ended, a dream that didn’t happen, or even the old version of ourselves we thought we’d still be.And grief… doesn’t use a calendar.It doesn’t care that you have work on Monday, that it’s someone’s birthday, or that you finally put on mascara for the first time in three weeks.Some days you’re okay.Other days, you melt like ice cream in July — and honestly… both are normal.If you’re grieving, I just want to say this:You’re not failing.You’re not weak.You’re not “behind schedule.”You’re human.And even in the messy parts — the tears, the numbness, the anger, and the random emotional tornado that hits out of nowhere — God is still close.Scripture says He’s near to the brokenhearted — not avoiding them, not shushing them — near.So today, you don’t have to rush your healing.Just take one small step: breathe, cry, journal, pray, go for a walk… or honestly, just change into clean pajamas — that counts.You don’t have to move on.You just get to move forward — gently… and at your own pace.Thanks for being here on Wellness Within Her.

Send us Fan Mail Last week, we talked about how our first assumptions are often false — and how, when we slow down and look deeper, truth and compassion start to surface. This week, we’re going even deeper — into the why behind those assumptions. What wounds, what unmet needs, what unhealed stories live beneath our reactions?In part one, we practiced Dr. Gabor Maté’s ‘5 Things’ exercise — listing five possible reasons someone acted the way they did. Today, we’ll explore how compassionate inquiry helps us uncover the root — not just the reaction.Faith tie-in:Psalm 139:23–24 — “Search me, God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts.”When we invite God to search our hearts, it’s not about shame — it’s about understanding.
