Stories create empathy. ❤️

We’re proud to see Qwynn Galloway-Salazar, Artist-in-Residence and Army Veteran, featured in this powerful Associated Press story.

At Grief Dialogues, we believe storytelling and theatre give us the opportunity to hear the unheard, understand the unseen, and feel what another person has experienced.

Qwynn brings that mission to life through her work with In Honor, our immersive experience honoring veterans and their families.

Grief Dialogues

09/01/2026

✨ The one habit that successful people have in common is that they will ask for help when they need it. ✨

What strikes us most about this story is what almost happened. A mother and daughter both nearly died in that water. And what actually saved them wasn’t grit, it was surrender: letting go of the fight to control the outcome alone and trusting other hands.

That’s the exact terrain Grief Dialogues works in. Death and dying force the same reckoning this riptide did. Families facing a terminal diagnosis, a hospice decision, a sudden loss. They’re taught the same “rugged individualism” script the author describes, just applied to mortality instead of achievement. Handle it stoically. Don’t burden people. Grieve efficiently and alone. We built an entire nonprofit on the premise that this script is not just unhelpful but actively harmful. The stories worth telling on stage are the ones where someone reaches a hand up out of the water and says I can’t do this by myself, and lives (or grieves) better because of it.

💜 National Grief Awareness Day - August 30 💜

Today, we’re reminded that grief has no timeline, no formula, and no single definition.

We grieve the people we’ve lost, but we can also grieve relationships, jobs, homes, routines, dreams, health, and the life we thought we would have.

There is no “right” way to grieve, and healing doesn’t mean forgetting. Sometimes, it simply means learning how to carry the love and the loss differently.

Today, check in on someone who may be grieving. Send the text. Make the call. Sit with them. Listen.

And if you are grieving, remember: you don’t have to go through it alone. ❤️

Your grief matters. Your story matters. And there is no expiration date on either.

Grief can change so much, including how we see and define ourselves. 💔 In this powerful personal essay, one woman shares why, three years after her husband’s death, she rejects the term “widow” and reflects on identity, love, and life after loss.

I was in bed when my friend Serena called, which was strange, because we always texted. She said our garage door was open. Then she said there was an ambulance outside.

Caregivers often pour so much of themselves into caring for the people they love that their own needs can be pushed aside. ❤️

In a video recorded before her passing, Dolly Parton reflected on caring for her late husband, Carl, and admitted that during his illness, she didn’t take care of herself the way she should have.

This article explores the challenges many caregivers face and offers an important reminder: caring for yourself is not selfish. Your well-being matters, too. 💛

Like many caregivers, Dolly Parton didn’t take care of her own health while caring for her ailing husband. That’s not unusual, even among people with resources.

Sometimes, the bravest words we can say are: “I need help.” 💛

Elton John’s powerful reflection reminds us that asking for support is not a sign of weakness, it can be the beginning of healing.
