Why we created this series
Grief & Joy was born from the realization that life doesn't move in a straight line. After losing my husband, navigating midlife, and building a completely new chapter, I discovered that the hardest transitions often come with the fewest honest conversations.
We spend so much time talking about milestones—but not enough time talking about what comes after. What nobody tells you about becoming a widow. About retiring after decades of work. About watching your kids leave home. About menopause. About starting over.
This series exists to change that.
Hi, I am Mindy - The Founder of Grief & Joy
I started Grief & Joy because life rarely fits into one emotional category.
Sometimes you laugh while grieving.
Sometimes you cry during happy milestones.
Sometimes you need a card that says what people are actually thinking - even if it includes swear words!
Grief & Joy is for people who are trying to navigate life's tough transitions with a sense of humor!
