Grief is part of your story. But not the whole story.

People love to say:
“Just wait until the second year…”

But what if that message creates more fear than comfort?

In this video, we explore why telling grieving people “the second year is harder” can feel discouraging—and why grief is too personal to predict.

Your grief is your own.
Not a script someone else hands you.
