Last Friday my grandmother passed away.
There was no funeral. No gathering. No moment where the world paused to say goodbye. And the strangest part is… I haven’t cried.
Instead, what I feel is something closer to relief.
In this deeply personal episode of Raven’s Ramblings, I talk about the complicated emotions that can come with losing someone who has been suffering for a long time. Sometimes grief doesn’t look like tears. Sometimes it’s quiet. Sometimes it’s numbness. And sometimes it’s the soft exhale of knowing their pain has finally ended.
In this episode we explore how witches have historically viewed death, the role of ritual in processing loss, and why modern life sometimes leaves us without the space to properly grieve.
I’ll also share a simple candle ritual for honoring someone when there was never a formal goodbye.
If you’ve ever lost someone and felt like your grief didn’t look the way people expected… this conversation is for you.
