Hi! I’m Rashida.

I’m your Chief Griefologist, an LMSW, experienced grief therapist, and mom who knows firsthand that grief is messy, unpredictable, and full of WTF moments. I lost my mom at 15, and ever since, I’ve been on a mission to make grief less isolating and more understood.

That’s why I created Griefology—a space where we normalize all kinds of loss, whether it’s the death of a loved one or the unexpected curveballs life throws. Here, you’ll find real talk, relatable tools, and even a little humor to help you navigate your grief journey. Because grief isn’t just about sadness—it’s about learning how to live, love, and grow through it.
