My Story

---

Alone. 

When I first lost my mom, in June of 2022, I had never felt more alone in my life. Even though I had friends and family grieving right along side of me, I had never felt so alone in my grief. It was then that I realized that grief makes you feel alone because it is such a personal journey.

 My first impression of grief was that it was just a problem that needed to be solved. All I needed to do was find the solution and I would be happy again. 

Easy. 

I researched anything and everything grief related, and spoke with countless grievers to hear their about journey with grief. I was desperate to find the solution, until God revealed to me that grief was never a problem to be solved but rather a deep essential experience of being human. An experience that will eventually touch every single person on this planet. 

An experience that very few people will truly speak about. 

Death has been around as long as life, and yet no one ever wants to talk about it. Turning Grief into a silent monster everyone fears to acknowledge is there, and yet, millions are being silently devoured by it each year. 

Seeing so many people silently grieving  absolutely broke my heart and God slowly began to reveal that He was calling me to begin this journey of The Silent Sister. His calling was to create a safe space for women who are silently grieving and need to feel less alone. 

 I am not a professional. I am not a theologian. I am not even what I would consider "righteous" enough for such a calling. I am just a woman who felt alone in grief and God called to help others not feel the same. 

So, please know that  if you are reading this YOU ARE NOT ALONE.
