We’ve been quiet here for a long time.
If you’ve noticed the silence from Jacoby’s Shield over the last several months, you’re not imagining it.
Like many of you, we’ve been inside our own waves of grief… figuring out how to keep breathing, parenting, working, and honoring our child while carrying a love that never ends and a pain that never fully goes away.
In that quiet, something very important has been taking shape.
Over the past months, we’ve been working on words and practices for something we kept feeling but couldn’t name:
how grief after losing a child doesn’t just “hurt”… it makes your whole brain feel jammed, cramped, and overloaded.
You can’t think straight.
You forget things.
Simple tasks feel impossible.
You feel guilty for the moments you’re okay, and terrified of the moments you’re not.
We started calling this experience “GriefBrain.”
And from our own journey, our work with other bereaved parents, and trauma‑informed tools, we created something we’re finally ready to share:
The Grief FLOW Method
…a gentle, guided way to help “uncramp” your grief brain so your thoughts, memories, and emotions can move, instead of crashing into each other all day.
For the first time ever, we’re opening a small, 4‑week online Grief FLOW Coaching Group for parents who have lost a child.
We’ll walk through this together in a tiny, guided group, using the Grief FLOW Method to create more space inside your grief, stay connected to your child’s love, and begin rebuilding a life that honors them… without ever “getting over” them.
We’ll share all the details very soon, but we wanted to come back here honestly first and tell you where we’ve been and what has been quietly growing in the background.
If you’re reading this and you feel something stir in you when you hear “GriefBrain” or “Grief FLOW”…
comment “FLOW” below or send us a message, and we’ll make sure you’re the first to get the details and an invite into this very first group.
You are not alone in this. Even when it has felt that way.
