Your legacy might be a weird soup recipe or one line that lives in someone’s head forever. Big isn’t better. Honest is enough.

Healing doesn't mean you stop grieving. It just means you've learned to breathe while you do. #griefnotes

When did you really first think about your own death? Not goth-teen-mood—real, honest mortality. What brought it on? What shifted after?

Thank you! It’s really a powerful idea. And it doesn’t just relate to grief. We can really apply it in so many different aspects of our lives. 😊

Grief is a shapeshifter. Sometimes it is a whisper. Other days, it's a damn landslide. #griefnotes

At a funeral once, I watched a widow comfort the person who came to comfort her.

That moment taught me more about boundaries and grief than any book ever could.

Comfort goes inward. Dump goes outward.

"Let me know if you need anything" is a nice sentiment. But showing up with coffee is a spiritual act. #griefnotes

Today’s ritual: Light a candle. Set a bowl of water nearby. Say: “I release the noise. I remember my knowing.” Now hush. Listen.

Grief isn't contagious. You can sit next to it without catching it. #griefnotes

Supporting someone who’s dying isn’t about finding the right words. It’s about being willing to stay when everything inside you wants to run. No script. No fix. Just presence.

Grief isn’t a full-time job with scheduled crying breaks. You get to laugh. You get to forget. You get to live. That’s not wrong—it’s healing.

You don't have to "make the most of it." Some days, you just have to make it through. #griefnotes

Bone & Bloom is a ritual in words: part candle flame, part hard truth, part companion in the dark. Sacred, strange, deeply human.
Welcome to Bone & Bloom: Where the Sacred, Strange, and Deeply Human Meet
Some corners of the internet are made to impress. This isn’t one of them. Bone & Bloom isn’t here to perform healing. It’s here to honor the ache, the becoming, the mess. Start here, if you’re craving something real.

If you're still weeping years later, you're not broken. You're just still loving them. #griefnotes

One performs. One shows up.
One smooths. One speaks.

You’re not behind. You’re tired. Capitalism doesn’t get a say in your nervous system. Lay down if you need to. That’s healing too.

Avoiding their grief won't protect them. It just makes them grieve alone. #griefnotes
