The Grief of Chronic Pain

Grief and chronic pain are not conditions to be “cured.” They are conditions to be lived with, integrated, and witnessed. Healing begins not with fixing the body, but with feeling safe inside it again.

If you’re reading this and nodding — if you’ve ever been told “it’s all in your head,” or watched your world shrink without anyone noticing — please know: your grief is valid. Your pain is real. And you are not alone.

Healing doesn’t mean becoming who you were before.
It means learning to love who you are now.
