Welcome!

Welcome to Silver Linings.

We're sorry that you have a reason to be here, but glad you're visiting all the same.

No matter what type of loss you've suffered (death of a friend/family member/pet, loss of a career or home or friendship/relationship), you are grieving.

We hope you'll be able to find some comfort and healing here.  We have set up pages related to specific kinds of loss where you can tell your story and read stories from others.  It helps to know you're not alone in what you feel.  Even though we all experience grief in our own way, the pain we endure is universal.

We will also share grief resources and things we've found that have helped ease our sorrow.

Please always remember that it's okay to not be okay.  Please always remember that your grief journey is your own, and no one can tell you how to process your feelings or when you should be "done" with grief.

And please know that one day, you will be able to dance again, even if you dance with a limp.

“You will lose someone you can’t live without, and your heart will be badly broken, and the bad news is that you never completely get over the loss of your beloved. But this is also the good news. They live forever in your broken heart that doesn’t seal back up. And you come through. It’s like having a broken leg that never heals perfectly—that still hurts when the weather gets cold, but you learn to dance with the limp.”   ― Anne Lamott
