Grief Unapologetically
"No one ever told me that grief felt so like pain"
C.S. Lewis ~ A Grief Observed
Welcome to Grief Unapologetically. This is a space for the parts of grief most people avoid—the ache, the anger, the loneliness, the emptiness. Here, none of that is “too much.” It all belongs.
My name is Bobbie. My son recently passed away from cancer. In the hardest parts of this journey, I have also lost other very important relationships. The grief has been layered and heavy, and I’ve felt the silence around it just as deeply. No one wants to talk about the hard stuff, but I need to. In order to really heal, I have to talk about all of it.
Gabriel and I always talked about sharing our stories in hopes of helping others. This blog is my way of keeping that promise—for him, for me, and for even one person who might feel a little less alone by reading these words. If this helps just one person, it will be worth it.
If you’re carrying grief of any kind—a person, a relationship, a version of yourself, or a life you thought you’d have—you are welcome here. You’ll find honest reflections, raw truths, and gentle reminders that you don’t have to be “okay” to deserve love and support.
