“I didn’t know what to say, so I said nothing.”
That’s what a friend shared last month. And it stuck with me because I understood. Most of us were never taught how to hold space for grief.
But grief doesn’t need fixing. It needs presence.
That’s why I created this guide: “When They’ve Lost a Job and You Haven’t: How to Hold Space Without Fixing, Minimizing, or Disappearing”
A guide for partners, friends, and colleagues.
Inside, you’ll find:
- What to say (and what not to)
- How to offer real support
- Managing your own discomfort
Let’s normalize not knowing what to say and still showing up anyway.

Death is a spiritual initiation & you have been walking toward it since your first breath. The question isn’t if it’s coming but if you’ll meet that moment fully awake.
What do we do with the grief we hold and carry? I invite you into creativity and to share your expression of grief as a part of an annual community grief zine project.
