Last year, I faced some heavy losses too, and there were moments when it felt like the grief was a tidal wave. I remember feeling like I was trying everything to keep my head above water, only to find myself sucked back under.

I remember leaning on some friends who had also gone through loss, and it felt good to share our experiences. It’s strange how connecting with others can bring a flicker of light during such dark times.
