What is Her Grief, Her Strength?

We’re Shelby and Rachel, two moms, two best friends, two women forever changed by the journey of grief and love.

Her Grief, Her Strength was born from the hardest seasons of our lives. We are both “medical moms” who’ve walked the unbearable paths of watching our children suffer and, for Rachel, of losing her daughter, Cassie. What started as voice notes and late-night texts between two moms trying to survive… became a lifeline. Then a passion project.

This is more than a support group.
More than a blog.
More than an Instagram page.

This is a movement.

A place where grieving mothers, medical moms, loss parents, and those navigating infertility or devastating diagnoses can feel seen.

A space that says:
“You don’t have to carry this alone.”

Through storytelling, advocacy, mental health support, and connection, our mission is to create a soft landing for the hardest journeys. Whether you’re grieving a child, a dream, a diagnosis, or just trying to survive this chapter of your life, your grief is valid here. And so is your strength.

We are not here to fix you.
We’re here to sit beside you in the ache.
To lift you up when you can’t stand.
To remind you that grieving loudly and living boldly can coexist.

This is Her Grief, Her Strength.
And we’re so honored you’re here.

With you in it always,
Rachel + Shelby
