🌷 Start Here

 Welcome to Surviving Grief with Dyan.

If you've found yourself here, I want you to know—this is a gentle place for those who are hurting. A quiet place to sit with your sorrow, your memories, and your faith.

Grief changes everything. And yet, it is not the end.
Here, I share daily reflections from my own walk through loss—after losing my husband Mark, and many others I love. My hope is that you will feel seen, held, and never alone.

🕊️ You are not expected to have it all together here. Just bring your heart.

"Love doesn't disappear when we pack up a room... He lives in us."
