In this raw and intimate blog post, Lindsay Fernandez shares a deeply personal story of grief and guilt—reflecting on the moment she chose not to accompany her mother to a cardiologist appointment, only months before her mother’s sudden death. Years later, a health scare of her own brought that moment rushing back, along with the guilt she’d quietly carried for years. Through her story, Lindsay invites readers into the emotional complexity of grief and introduces the Grief & Guilt Healing Circle—a 4-week live, virtual support group designed to help others gently explore their own guilt and begin softening it with compassion, connection, and care.
