BLOG
Women Sh*t Happens is a space for women navigating the many transitions of life — especially those that arrive after 50.
Here, we acknowledge that hurt, change, and uncertainty are part of the journey, but so are strength, growth, and resilience.
Through thoughtful reflections, real-life stories, and honest conversations, this blog exists to remind us that we are not alone. That our mental health deserves the same care as our physical health and that support should lift us up — not tear us down.
Life is happening. Let’s live it fully, while we can.
Grief Stricken [Part 1 - Hurt, A Three Part Series]
Grief is one of the deepest forms of hurt. It arrives through loss — sometimes quietly, sometimes violently — and reshapes us in ways we never expect.
This first installment explores how grief can surface as emotional pain, behavioral change, and moments that alter the course of families forever.
Parents [Part 2 - Hurt, A Three-Part Series]
Not all hurt comes from loss. Sometimes it comes from love itself.
This second piece examines the rarely spoken pain parents experience when their adult children become the source of ongoing emotional or physical harm. It asks difficult questions about responsibility, boundaries, aging, and unconditional love.
Unexplained [Part 3 - Hurt, A Three Part Series]
Some hurt has no clear cause, no one to blame, and no warning.
The final installment reflects on moments of sudden, unexplained pain — and the role support, presence, and connection play in surviving what we cannot understand.
