It is never a dull moment when I meet up with my cousins. 𝙈𝙖𝙖𝙢𝙚 𝙆𝙤𝙣𝙖𝙙𝙪 thanks for arranging this outing. It was wholesome.

What started as a dinner outing turned into a deep conversation about women’s mental health, particularly maternal mental health.

We talked about motherhood and identity loss. How easy it can be to become so consumed by being a mother, partner, daughter, and a working mother that you lose touch with the woman underneath all those roles.

We also explored maternal burnout, postpartum depression and anxiety, and the emotional weight that often goes unseen.

The conversation also touched on marriage, intimacy, resentment, infidelity, divorce, and how relationships can change when couples are navigating parenthood while struggling to find time for themselves.

And oh, we had to discuss maternal self-care and the importance of having safe people in your inner circle.

This dinner was self-care for me. Taking a break from responsibilities, sitting around a table, laughing, being vulnerable, and having honest conversations with people I feel safe with.

Having safe people in your inner circle matters. People you can be yourself around. People you can talk to without judgment. People who remind you that you are more than your roles and responsibilities.

Sometimes self-care is simply making space to reconnect with yourself and the people who help you feel like you again.

Motherhood matters. Marriage matters. Family matters.

But so do you.

And who you surround yourself with matters too.

Let’s talk about how delicious the food was Chiang Mai

One of the deepest forms of grief is mourning the inner child who carried grief they were too young to understand.

The child who had to stay quiet to survive.
The child who trusted too easily.
The child who blamed themselves.

There is a version of that child that is still waiting for the apology, the protection, the love, or the safety they needed.

Most often the hardest person to forgive is the child who learned to survive in ways they never should have needed.

But you can stop blaming that child for how they survived.

They were never the problem. They were doing the best they could with what they had.

Part of your healing is grieving that you cannot go back and give your younger self the childhood they deserved.

Grieve what they lost.
Grieve what they needed.
And then, gently, forgive them.

They deserved compassion then. They deserve it from you now.

Save this as a reminder to offer your inner child the compassion they deserve.

How often do you notice what is happening inside your body before you automatically move on?

Because not everything you carry shows up as a thought.

Sometimes it shows up as:

Tension in your jaw.
Heaviness in your chest.
Exhaustion that sleep does not seem to fix.
The feeling that you just cannot take on one more thing.

Sometimes the first step is simply noticing.

We often learn to ignore these signals because life expects us to keep going.
But your body is not working against you.
It may be trying to tell you that something needs your attention.

Pause. Notice. Listen.

What is your body trying to tell you that you have been too busy surviving to hear?

Save this as a reminder to check in with yourself today.

Your desire to be available for everyone at all times is not the same as being supportive.

Caring for others deeply is not an invitation to carry everything for them.

You don’t need permission to say no.
You are allowed to disappoint people.

Self-advocacy requires you to protect your time, energy, and emotional capacity at all times.

Yes, you can love others and still have limits.
Yes, you can care deeply and still say no.

Your boundaries do not erase your value. They protect it.

Save this for those days when guilt makes you question your boundaries.

Addiction does not begin the moment someone picks up a substance.

It begins the moment someone discovers that the substance can do something their nervous system could not do on its own.

It silences what could not be silenced. It numbs painful emotions. It fills a gap created long before its first use, often in a body simply trying to survive something it had no other tools to handle.

This is not a personal failure. This is a nervous system doing the only thing it knew to do with a pain it was never taught to hold any other way.

What addiction takes over time is not just health or relationships or years.

It takes identity. And when it is gone, what remains is one of the most profound questions a person can face.

Who am I without the addiction?

That question carries grief inside it.
For the lost years.
For the lost self.
For the version of a life that might have existed.

That grief is real. It is legitimate. And it rarely gets enough space to be named.

If this resonates, COMMENT, SHARE, and SAVE this as a reminder that what lives underneath addiction is almost always a grief that was never given anywhere to go.

Grief does not need to be fixed.

We often say things like, “Everything happens for a reason,” “What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger,” or “You need to let go and move on.”

But grief does not always need an explanation, a lesson, or a deadline.

Sometimes terrible things happen for no good reason.

Sometimes you are not stronger because of what happened. You are simply different.
Wiser. More compassionate.
More aware of what matters.

And sometimes healing is not about letting go.

It is about learning how to carry the loss with love while remaining open to life.

You can miss someone and still laugh again.

You can grieve what was lost and still make room for what is ahead.

You can carry grief without allowing it to become the entirety of your story.

Grief is not something to fix. It is something to be witnessed.

If this resonates, save this for the days when grief feels heavy. Share it with someone who needs to know they do not have to “move on.”

“Life is too short….but is it thou?”

We say it to encourage people to let go, forgive, and move on.

But recently, I found myself questioning whether those words always serve the people who need them most.

For many people who have experienced childhood trauma, sexual abuse, and profound grief, life has not felt short.

It has felt painfully long.

Long enough to carry memories that were never theirs to hold.

Long enough to question their worth because of what someone else did to them.

Long enough to live in survival mode, believing that feeling safe, loved, or at peace was meant for everyone else.

Trauma does not end when the abuse ends.

It can continue to shape relationships, boundaries, self worth, trust, and the nervous system for years.

But I have also witnessed something remarkable in the therapeutic space as a therapist.

Healing does not erase the past.

It changes your relationship with it.

It creates space for safety, self compassion, healthy relationships, and a future that is no longer defined by survival.

Life is not too short. It is too precious to spend the rest of it surviving what happened to you instead of healing from it.

If you have been surviving for far too long, know that you do not have to navigate healing alone.

If this resonates with you, COMMENT, SHARE, and SAVE for moments when life feels too long.

Caring for a parent (s) with dementia creates a grief that the world has no rituals for.

And caregivers carry it almost entirely alone.

It shows up every time you say your name to your own parents and wait for a recognition that no longer comes the way it used to.

Every time the person in front of you is familiar and unfamiliar at the same time.
Every time you leave the visit and sit in your car and cannot quite explain what just happened to anyone who has not lived it.

This grief has no funeral.
No one sends flowers.
No one takes time off work to support you.
Because from the outside, nothing has officially ended.

But something keeps ending. Quietly. In layers. Visit by visit.

You are allowed to grieve this.
You are allowed to be angry and exhausted and relieved when hard days end and guilty about the relief.
All of it belongs.
None of it makes you a bad caregiver.

You deserve support that understands the full weight of what you are navigating.

Not support that asks you to cope better with something that was never designed to be this hard.

You just need somewhere to put it.

If this resonates, COMMENT, SHARE, and SAVE this for the caregivers in your life who are carrying this alone.

Leticia Osei Psychotherapy was honored to speak at the African Caribbean Festival hosted by Olundara Foundation.

We had the opportunity to speak about the impact of racism on the mental health of Black communities in Canada and across the globe.

Racism is more than a social issue. It is a mental health issue that can influence our sense of safety, self worth, and overall well being.

It was a pleasure to connect with the Mayor of Bradford James R Leduc to discuss the importance of expanding culturally affirming and culturally appropriate mental health resources within the community.

These conversations are an important step toward informing policy, improving access to care, and building systems where Black communities can thrive.

Thank you to the Olundara Foundation for creating a space where advocacy, education, and community come together. Change begins with conversations, but it grows through action.
