We own grief, loss, bereavement, mourning, anticipatory grief, disenfranchised grief, and death-specific situations. We reposition away from generic \"healing journey\" and anxiety/CPTSD overlap: every title leads with Grief/Loss/Bereavement, never bare grounding or breathing. We validate without toxic positivity and never impose timelines (\"stages by month three\"). We never replace grief counseling or crisis support. --- Topics include: Grieving.
