Grief is not weakness. It’s what happens when love has nowhere familiar to go. When you’ve loved someone deeply, their absence can touch every part of your life: the routines you shared, the future you imagined, the ordinary moments you never thought you’d miss.

So if grief still finds you, even long after the loss, it doesn’t mean you should be “over it” by now. It means the love was real. You can miss them and keep living. You can hurt and still heal. You can carry grief and still make room for joy. Your grief is not a measure of your strength.

It is evidence that you loved deeply. ❤️

The Enneagram is more than a number. It’s a tool that can help us get curious about the patterns underneath the way we move through life.

“Why do I react this way?”
“What am I really afraid of?”
“What motivates me?”
“Why do certain relationship patterns keep showing up?”

When we begin to understand the story behind our patterns, we can create more awareness around how we communicate, how we love, and how we respond when life changes us. And awareness gives us choices.

That’s what we’ll be exploring at The Stories We Live, a live Enneagram experience with Elizabeth Orr of Rude Ass Enneagram .

Whether you already know your Enneagram type or you’re completely new to it, this experience is about understanding yourself more deeply, and using that understanding to build stronger, more meaningful relationships. Come discover the stories behind your patterns, and what might change when you begin to understand them. ❤️

Some days grief feels manageable. Other days, it can feel like you’re right back at the beginning. A memory catches you off guard. A date on the calendar hits differently. A song, a smell, or an ordinary moment suddenly makes the missing feel enormous again. That doesn’t erase the progress you’ve made.

Grief isn’t a straight line, and a hard day doesn’t mean you’ve gone backward. On the days when it feels especially heavy, give yourself permission to need more rest, more support, more space, or simply more time. There is no perfect way to grieve. Some days will be harder than others, and that doesn’t mean you’re doing it wrong. ❤️

Letting go can be one of the hardest ideas to sit with after loss.

Because how do you “let go” of someone who will always be part of you? Maybe letting go isn’t about forgetting them, loving them less, or leaving the life you shared behind. Maybe it’s letting go of the expectation that life has to look the way it did before.

It’s allowing yourself to laugh without guilt. To make new memories. To love what is still here. To take a full breath without feeling like you’re leaving them behind. You can carry their memory and still make room for your life to grow. Moving forward doesn’t erase the love.

It simply makes room for you to keep living. ❤️

When you join us for The Stories We Live, your experience reaches beyond the room.

Every registration helps support the work of Clear Mourning: providing grief support, education, compassionate care, and resources for individuals and families navigating loss. So while you’re investing in your own growth, self-awareness, and relationships, you’re also helping make it possible for someone else to feel supported in their grief. That’s what makes this event especially meaningful to us. The learning continues. The connection continues. And the healing continues.

Join us for The Stories We Live: A Live Enneagram Experience with Elizabeth Orr, presented by Clear Mourning in collaboration with Dharma & Destiny. Come for the experience. Leave knowing your presence helped make an impact. ❤️

There is so much pressure in grief to “be strong.” To hold it together. To keep going. To reassure everyone that you’re okay, even when you’re anything but. But strength doesn’t always look like having it together.
Sometimes strength is getting out of bed. Sometimes it’s asking for help. Sometimes it’s crying in the car, canceling the plans, or admitting that today is harder than you expected. And sometimes showing up simply means making it through the next hour. You don’t have to carry grief perfectly. You don’t have to prove how strong you are.
Just keep showing up for yourself in whatever way you can today. ❤️

Meet Elizabeth Orr, the brilliant voice behind Rude Ass Enneagram and my co-host for The Stories We Live. ❤️

Elizabeth has a way of talking about the Enneagram that is honest, approachable, and deeply human. Her work invites us to look beyond simply knowing our “number” and start getting curious about the patterns, fears, motivations, and stories that shape the way we move through the world. That’s exactly what we’ll be exploring together at The Stories We Live.

This live experience is an opportunity to understand yourself more deeply, recognize patterns that may no longer be serving you, strengthen your relationships, and connect with others in a meaningful way.

I’m so excited for you to get to know Elizabeth and experience what she brings to this conversation. Come learn, grow, connect, and discover more about the stories you live.

Grief changes you. And when you change, your relationships can change too… including the relationship you have with yourself. Sometimes the person we’re struggling hardest to understand after loss is the person looking back at us in the mirror. Why do I keep reacting this way? Why do I fall into the same patterns? What do I actually need from the people supporting me?

Elizabeth Orr, author of The Unfiltered Enneagram and Rude Ass Enneagram and I have been exploring how the Enneagram can help us understand the stories we tell ourselves, the way we experience grief, and the kind of support we may need along the way.

You can hear more in our two-part conversation on Enduring Grief. And if you’re ready to go deeper, join us this October in Bend, Oregon for our live Enneagram experience, The Stories We Live. Because understanding your patterns isn’t about judging yourself for them. It’s about getting curious about the person grief has asked you to become. ❤️

You don’t have to be an Enneagram expert to belong in this room. Whether you’re brand new to the Enneagram, have been exploring your type for years, want to strengthen your relationships, support others more intentionally, or simply understand yourself a little better, The Stories We Live was created with you in mind.

This experience is about more than knowing your number. It’s about recognizing the patterns that shape the way you move through relationships, change, grief, and everyday life; and discovering what becomes possible when you understand those patterns more clearly.

Join us for three days of learning, connection, growth, and community with Elizabeth Orr of Rude Ass Enneagram . Wherever you are on your journey, you’ll find belonging here. ❤️

Grief isn’t only about losing someone you love. Sometimes, it’s grieving the life you thought you were going to have. The marriage you imagined. The career you worked toward. The family you pictured. The future you planned. The version of yourself you thought you would become.

Those losses may not always be visible to the people around you, but they can still carry real grief. You’re allowed to mourn what didn’t happen. You’re allowed to miss a future that once felt certain. And you don’t have to minimize that grief simply because it looks different from someone else’s.

Sometimes moving forward means making space for what was lost while slowly discovering what might still be possible. ❤️
