The Book That’s Pretty Painfully Helping Me With Grief

On 6th Jun 2025 By Absurd RhioIn Grief Journey2 Comments

I’ve tried grief therapy. It didn’t work. This book - The Pretty Painful Grief Book - actually is. It doesn’t sugar-coat or preach. It just asks the right questions. Some of them hurt. Some made me cry. But they helped. This post is about how I’m using it, and why it matters.

Another Grief Therapy Session – Learning To Push My Rock Without Shame

On 19th Feb 202519th Feb 2025 By Absurd RhioIn Grief Journey7 Comments

Grief therapy has made me realise how much I’ve hidden parts of myself out of fear. This week, I’m challenging that. I’m sharing my truth, sitting with my emotions, and letting people misunderstand me if they choose to. It’s time to stop being ashamed of my rock—one stone at a time.

Grief blogging, ADHD chaos, ED recovery, and Cyberpunk 2077 outbursts. Sometimes Biscoff. Always feelings.
