The journey of grief is a difficult and often lifelong process for many individuals. Suzie Headley shares her personal story of loss, abandonment, and rebuilding after being excommunicated from a cult and experiencing the suicide of a close family member. Despite her efforts to move on and create a new life for herself and her children, Suzie realized that grief does not have a time limit and cannot simply be overcome with positive thinking.

Through her experience, Suzie learned that it is important to honor and make space for grief, allowing oneself to feel sadness and pain without guilt or shame. By acknowledging and accepting the losses she has suffered, Suzie found comfort and validation, which enabled her to continue building the life she wanted while still remembering and honoring those she had lost.

Suzie’s story serves as a reminder that grief is a natural response to loss and that it is okay to feel sad and vulnerable at times. By honoring our grief and allowing ourselves to grieve, we can move forward in our lives while still holding onto the memories and love of those we have lost.
