Grief is often associated with sadness and isolation, but a 10-year-old girl is changing the narrative with her powerful message about resilience and healing.
In a touching video shared by @experiencecamps, a nonprofit that supports grieving children, the young girl shares how she has transformed her pain into purpose and growth after losing her mother.
‘Grief Isn’t Just Sad—It’s Something to Grow From’
Instead of viewing grief as something that holds her back, she encourages others to embrace it as a force for change:
“I wish people knew that grief wasn’t sad. It wasn’t something to sit in your room and cry about. It was something to get up and change your life about.”
Her wisdom goes beyond her years, urging those who have lost a loved one to continue traditions and find strength in memories rather than dwelling in sorrow.
“If you used to do this with a person, still do it. Use grief as a good thing, not a sad thing.”
A Message of Hope for Grieving Families
The video has resonated with thousands, sparking conversations about how children process grief and the importance of support systems like Experience Camps.
The nonprofit provides summer camp programs and year-round initiatives to help grieving children find joy, connection, and purpose despite their loss.
