We have a lot to say about grief
We have a lot to say about grief, and still, in 2023, too few places to say them.
Here’s to raising more grief awareness in 2023
Big things are coming for the Motherlove Project in 2023. When I started the Project in 2020, I had no idea what might happen but I knew I was called to start something that allowed me to share my story and others’ as well. I couldn’t have imagined over 80 beautiful souls from around the world would share their stories with the Project. I feel called to push harder and longer for more grief awareness, grief education, connection and community in 2023!
New year, new grief?
Time is supposed to heal all wounds, right? Or we’re supposed to go through the “stages” of grief (how many are there, 5? 7?) and then we’re to be able to move on? From my experience of the last 27 years, I can tell you that I’m still processing my loss.
If you don’t have a will, why not?
What happens if you die without a will? A person who dies without a will is called an intestate, and most people don’t know what happens if you die without one. It’s a common myth that the government can claim your money and assets, but it’s not true. They do have the ability to have a say in how your assets or estate gets divided between family members. Creating a will also means you can control how your assets are distributed to beneficiaries over time, instead of children receiving a lump sum when they turn 18. Having a will also ensures that you are clear about the custody of your children if your children are minors when you die.
Strength in numbers
As women who have lost their mothers, we understand grief. We’re connected despite our differences and we have strength in our numbers.
