What Grief Gave Me: Healing After Grief Through Small Moments

When the Universe Speaks in Signs

Sep 4, 20252 min read

✨ “Grief isn’t only sadness. Sometimes it carries small flashes of joy, too — both are part of the walk.” Grief is one of the most universal human experiences, yet it never arrives the same way twice. Who we lose, where we are in our own lives, and even the shape of the love we shared all change how grief takes root in us. For me, this truth has unfolded again and again. When I lost my mom as a child, grief came with a strange kind of knowing. At church one day, an old man approached me and quietly told me my mother was going to pass away, and I needed to take care of my grandmother. Moments later, he was gone, vanished, as though he had never been there. I knew she had died before my family did. And then I went silent. For an entire year, I didn’t speak. When I finally found my voice again, I wasn’t the same girl. I had been sassy, loud, even defiant at times, but after that silence, I had softened. I became more compassionate, more tender. That grief changed
