About

Life is full of transitions. Some you expect; others, you don’t. Either way, the pain runs deep as you grieve what you’ve lost and navigate the uncertainty of what’s to come. The death of a loved one, the end of a relationship, a shift in your identity… life becomes tender and unfamiliar. Anxiety sets in. Depression pushes down on you. And the isolation is profound – so much so that it’s hard to imagine ever “moving forward” or “bouncing back.” You’d do anything to dial things back to “normal” – when your body didn’t ache, you enjoyed being with friends, and you didn’t wonder if anyone could understand what you're going through.
