We are so grateful for the opportunity to support breast cancer awareness and our vice president Genevieve Alexander and her organization angels impact. October will always be a special month for us as we advocate for both. To the survivors, still fighting, and those who have lost their battle we see you and we pray for you.

Dear From Grief 2 Healing Community,

Effective today, I am resigning from my role as Marketing Director of From Grief 2 Healing. This decision, reached after careful reflection, aligns with my commitment to pursuing my future goals with integrity and intentionality for the future of From Grief 2 Healing.

Child advocacy has always been my passion and purpose. As I enter my senior year at the University of Louisiana Monroe, I am pursuing a double major in Political Science (Pre-Law concentration) and Psychology, with graduation planned for May 2026. My academic commitments include completing a senior thesis focused on improving transitions for foster children within the foster care system and founding a student organization, Children’s Chance, to educate and empower peers in child advocacy while supporting local youth. These responsibilities demand my full focus, and I cannot provide the dedication that From Grief 2 Healing deserves while also obtaining these goals.

Serving on the board for the past six months has been a profound learning experience. I am deeply grateful for the opportunity to grow alongside such an inspiring board of women whose compassion and dedication are truly remarkable. From the depths of my soul: thank you. Your encouragement, patience, and support have been invaluable; I cherish the connections we’ve built. To the community, thank you for engaging with the social media content I’ve shared on behalf of this organization. I hope From Grief 2 Healing continues to be a home of healing, hope, and support for you all.

I extend my heartfelt gratitude to the board and community for the opportunity to serve and grow alongside you in this meaningful mission. The best is yet to come!

Sincerely,
Sarah Charrier

My story continues at a speech and debate tournament. I knew no one other than my immediate family and the friend I had convinced myself didn’t care about me. That changed when a complete stranger watched me perform my first speech and asked if I would be her friend. She didn’t realize the small act of kindness she exhibited changed my life. Her friendship started to reveal the cracks in my thoughts: if I’m not worth loving, then why is she talking to me? If no one cares, then why is she taking the time to understand me? Slowly but surely, new thoughts started forming in my mind. I started realizing that life is a series of learning and growing, staying true to my core values while adapting, and constantly finding ways to better myself.

One of the biggest steps of overcoming loneliness happened during May 7th, 2020. Remember the girl I had convinced myself was using me? I talked with her in 2018, asking for forgiveness for my assumptions and distance, and we became close friends. She is now someone I proudly call my best friend, and on that May 7th she surprised me by creating a basket of all my favorite things and driving it to me from Ruston to Monroe. It was one of the kindest things anyone has ever done for me. Later that day, I spent time with my grandparents, fishing with my Maw Maw and listening to some of my favorite songs. Another sweet friend of mine, Halina, sent me a gratitude journal that I still keep. It is a constant reminder I have so much good in my life. Most importantly, that day was truly a reminder from Christ that I not alone. I am and always have been so adored and loved by Him. I had consistently chosen to focus on the negative instead of all the beauty around me.

After a while, we got rid of that old trampoline. I was sad to see it go, but it’s okay. It taught me the valuable lesson that leaving loneliness is just as simple as unzipping the net that encompasses you, crawling out of the hole, and jumping out into the world. Loneliness is lethal until we see the truth. It’s a prison that we lock ourselves in, yet we are the ones holding the keys.

Join me as I share the story of my grief: loneliness. My story begins at 10, when my want for a sister turned into a serious need. I felt misunderstood by my parents and was afraid of being hurt by those misunderstandings. So, it remained unspoken and daily I would struggle. Loneliness is a mental battle and it starts by telling yourself that you are alone. Although I had people who loved and treasured me, I told myself that no one cared or loved me. Loneliness is a mindset, not truth. But it creates convincing lies: no one loves me, no one cares about what I am going through, I have no friends, and I don’t fit in. These self-deprecating thoughts seep into the core of your being and consume you.

Loneliness is subjective: what caused me to feel lonely might not make you feel lonely at all. Psychology Today cites being in an unfamiliar place, your ethnicity, race, religion, beliefs, handicaps, or feeling unloved, overthinking relationships, losing someone close to you, or not having a significant other. It all boils down to thinking you are alone. Feeling that you are not connected and supported by those around you. Everyone feels lonely from time to time.

The ​New Republic shared, “​Psychobiologists can now show that loneliness sends misleading hormonal signals, rejiggers the molecules on genes that govern behavior, and wrenches a slew of other systems out of whack. They have proved that loneliness not only makes you sick; it can kill you. A partial list of the physical diseases thought to be caused or exacerbated by loneliness would include Alzheimer’s, obesity, diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, neurodegenerative diseases, and even cancer.” ​Mental effects of loneliness outlined by ​verywellmind​ are ​depression, increased stress, decreased memory and learning, altered brain function, antisocial behavior, poor decision-making, substance abuse, and suicidal thoughts. At 12, my life felt empty. When I connected with someone, the lies started: she didn’t truly care about me, just using me to make friends. It hurt my friendship with her, made me mistrust others, and made me miserable.

Come back Wednesday for part II!
