About

 

My name is Brigid Pettit, and I lost my big brother on May 4, 2022. The grief journey has been difficult; on one of the more difficult days, I tried to peel back the layers of emotions to find what could be helpful to my health and happiness. I found myself feeling shame about my grief. It’s embarrassing to be known as someone who is overly emotional, who can’t handle the competing priorities in their life. I decided to try to being proud of my grief – a lasting sign of the depth of love between us. I am not holding myself to a standard of posting on a regular basis. Rather, I will use this as an outlet on the days when this is what feels right.
