Today we’d like to introduce you to Alexis Green.
Hi Alexis, please kick things off for us with an introduction to yourself and your story.
I experienced a loss almost 4 years ago. My son was taken away due to gun violence. It took my some time but I knew that I wanted to create something that would honor his life instead of mourn his death. Grief Speaks was birthed from the idea that Grief is never ending, its constant, in and out, up and down but we must learn how to live through it and navigate in it. I wanted to offer support, education and resources for all of those who struggle with their Grief Journey.
I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
No it hasn’t. I too still struggle. Grief never leaves. Through therapy, prayer, meditation and the support of family and friends, I work daily at riding the waves of Grief. Some of the struggles have been getting others to share the message and support. People support but I really want this to reach the masses and help alot of people. Most people struggle with their grief so its hard to talk about your feelings or share your story.
As you know, we’re big fans of Grief Speaks . For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about the brand?
Grief Speaks is a compassionate community created to give grief a voice and remind every person that they do not have to navigate loss alone. Founded by a mother and two-time author who understands the weight of grief firsthand, Grief Speaks was born from love, lived experience, and a deep desire to create safe spaces for healing.
We understand that grief shows up in many forms — death, divorce, life changes, transitions, disappointments, and the quiet losses you carry inside. Here, all forms of grief are seen, honored, and welcomed.
Our mission is simple: to provide connection, comfort, and community through open conversation, shared stories, and compassionate support. Through online groups, guided journal prompts, social content, live talks, and in-person Walk & Talk events, Grief Speaks helps you slow down, breathe, and find your way through the waves — one moment at a time.
We believe healing happens in community. We believe your voice matters. And we believe love never disappears; it transforms, strengthens, and continues through you.
Whether you’re grieving silently, searching for tools to cope, or simply looking for a place where your heart can rest — you belong here.
I have created a Journal- Grief Speaks- A Journal for your Voice as a tool to help those who are unable to talk about their grief but need an outlet.
What matters most to you?
The people matter the most to me. The message matters even more.
I know first hand about loss. I also know loss is not limited to just loss of a family member. Grief also includes the loss of your job, Divorce, illness, etc.
It matters that we bring awareness to Grief and how it affects our mental health, how we respond to our family and friends, our finances, even how it shows up in our physical bodies.
I was fortunate to be able to avoid therapy but that is not the case for all. I want to create something that will allow people the education, tools and resources that will allow them to navigate through their grief. We know its not going anywhere, how we get through matters.
