The Polly
Grief Space
Grief without neat edges
When comfort feels far
Grief outside the lines
Grief without neat edges.
No fixing. No timelines.
Just real love and loss.
This is for the rest of it.
The Rest Of Us.
For daughters grieving their moms and don’t know how to exist in a world without her.
For anyone grieving someone irreplaceable -
a parent, a partner, a person who shaped your world.
You're welcome here.
If your grief feels outside the lines… if it’s messy, ongoing, you’re not doing it wrong.
Some losses don’t have neat edges or fit a framework.
Not all healing feels like progress.
Some love leaves a mark that doesn’t tidy itself.
This is space for that.
I get it. Because I’m living it too.
In January 2024, my world shattered with a phone call. My mom, Polly, had a sudden cardiac arrest. Just hours later, she was gone.
I’m a therapist. I thought I understood grief - I’d sat with clients through their darkest moments for nearly a decade.
But losing my mom? Nothing prepared me for that.
The sleepless nights. The hollow ache. The isolation of feeling like I was drowning while everyone else kept moving forward.
I went looking for support that felt real. Something gritty and honest. Something that didn’t tell me to “find closure” or “move through the stages.”
I couldn’t find it.
So I created it.
Grief doesn’t fit into a tiny box.
You don’t need to “get over it” or “move on” by some imaginary deadline.
You don’t need fixing.
You need someone who understands that grief is complicated. Raw. Ongoing.
That some days you’ll feel okay, and some days you’ll feel like you’re right back at the beginning.
It's okay to feel all of it - the sadness, the anger, the moments when you can’t remember what their voice sounded like and it terrifies you.
That’s what this space is for.
How I can help:
-
When you’re in the thick of it and can’t think straight - just need someone who gets it.
Audio sessions you can access immediately, listen to in the dark at 3am, or on repeat when the waves hit hard. -
Grief Journals
The journals are for when you need to get the messy stuff out of your head and onto paper. Whether you lost your mom, your dad, your partner, or another person who was everything to you - there’s space here for your grief.
No pressure to make it pretty or profound.

Call Free Support
One-on-one space to talk/voice message or text about where you are and what you need. No pressure, no judgment - just someone who understands listening.

This isn’t about healing on someone else’s timeline.
It’s about learning to carry what you’re carrying - and knowing you’re not alone in it.

The Polly Grief Space
Named after my mom, Pauline (Polly), who taught me about love, strength, and compassion
and whose loss taught me that grief doesn’t follow the rules.
