What is something about grief you wish someone had told you?

You don’t have to explain your whole story, even one sentence is enough.

Our words help others else feel less alone.

I’m l looking for individuals who may be willing to participate and share their story of loss.

This project will document real experiences of grief through portraits, conversations, and personal storytelling, the parts of loss that people often feel alone in.

At this stage, I’m not asking you to share your story publicly yet. I’m only gathering a list of people who may be open to participating as the project grows.

If you feel like this is something you might want to be part of, you can let me know in one of two ways:

Tomorrow would have been my Nannie’s birthday.

Her name was Betty, but to me she was simply Nannie. She was my best friend, my safest place, and the person who knew me better than anyone else in the world.

For a while now, I’ve been quietly and secretly working on something. I haven’t told a single soul about it, not even my husband.

When my Nannie passed away, I learned something about grief that no one had prepared me for.

Her absence became the loudest silence I have ever heard.

I also learned how uncomfortable loss makes people. Some disappear because they don’t know what to say. Others avoid the conversation completely.

But since losing her, there have been so many moments where I caught myself thinking:

“I wish someone would have told me about this part.”

Those moments are what led me to create something new, From the Trenches of Grief.

This is a storytelling project and community where people share the real experiences of grief. The moments, emotions, and truths about loss that no one prepares you for.

Through portraits, conversation, and personal stories, this project will bring those experiences to light so that others walking through grief don’t feel so alone.

I’m announcing this project in honor of my Nannie and her birthday tomorrow, because she was someone who never avoided the hard conversations.

If this speaks to you, I would love for you to follow along and invite others who may need these stories too.

Tomorrow I’ll also be sharing how people can become part of this project and share their own story.

somehow, someway the second year is both easier and harder than the first year. If you know grief, you know what I mean However, if you have yet to ever experience the loss of something you’ll never get back, you might be confused how something is harder and equally easier all at the same time. Honestly me too, I both understand and am confused by it. Grief is confusing though - there’s no blueprint, book, prayer, or movie that will prepare you. There’s no one word of advice I can give you. It’s unexplainable and unpredictable, grief is a thief and a gift giver.

Today makes 1 year and 5 months that’s 519 days since Nannie left this world and somehow that’s equally forever ago and yesterday. I’ve both healed and crumbled, sometimes the same week or even day. Looking back on the first 365 days I think I was just in survival mode. Trying to face what reality woke me up to one day. She was gone and we were still here. She stopped breathing and somehow we still were. We faced the first holidays and birthdays without her. Yet in the midst of trying to accept that and adjust to that, time continued ticking even if we wanted to stop the world from spinning, I mean ours did, didn’t it? Bills to pay, jobs to work, meals to cook, the mundane must be kept up.

Then you grieve the loss on anniversary number 1 and realize you’ve somehow caught your breath one day. You’ve laughed and traveled, shared meals with family and friends. Okay, yeah this is easier maybe time does heal all wounds. Oh what lies we tell ourselves…

All while healing the wound of grief, she stabs you again - a song plays, a smell enters your nostrils, the wind blows just the right way and your back to day one. You pick up the phone to make the call and remember no one’s on the other end. Somehow it feels like all that healing work is gone. See year two, she tricks you. You think you’ve mastered something that’s not meant to be mastered and your reality starts to sink in - Nannie will not be sitting at the counter when you walk in. A homesickness that there’s no cure for - a home that you can never return to. A hug that you’ll spend your entire life longing for. Year to reality smacks you as you start to accept the fate you’ve been given.

1 year and 5 months that’s 519 days since Nannie left this world and somehow that’s equally forever ago and yesterday.

“Did you know how much I loved you?
Did I tell you enough?
I've been cryin' since I got the call
Been beatin' myself up
I'm angry at the sky
None of this feels right
Only god knows why
I wish I knew tonight
I know where you're at
And there ain't no time at all
No heartbreak, no more pain
Just streets of gold you get to walk
When I talked to you this mornin'
I said, I'll see you soon
Would have said so much more if I only knew
That you'd be in heaven by noon”
