It’s all the love you want to give but cannot." — Jamie Anderson Grief is sneaky.  It can show up at the most unexpected times, prompted by the most unassuming things, and displayed in very different ways for each of us. This week, grief surrounded me and those close to me as we all grieved someone different in our lives.  It was prompted by things as varied as a familiar cologne on an elevator ride, exhaustion after a sleepless night, an invitation...]]></description><link>https://www.arisesoulcare.com/post/grief-is-sneaky</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6aa6e182f448a9cd17b8f904</guid><pubDate>Sun, 13 Sep 2026 17:51:56 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/2f3170_1ccf934ec41b4842b9f89439adee8de7~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Sharon Collignon</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Space Between Chapters]]></title><description><![CDATA[When was the last time you walked through a door not knowing what was on the other side? On this side of the door, there is familiarity and comfort. On the other side is the unknown. We may think we have some idea of what it will look like, but the picture is still unclear—untested and unfamiliar. Sometimes walking through the door means retiring from a beloved career, entering an empty nest, or experiencing a change in a relationship. This side of the door represents the life we know well....]]></description><link>https://www.arisesoulcare.com/post/the-space-between-chapters</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a95c060606c430fb842d0c8</guid><pubDate>Tue, 01 Sep 2026 11:19:08 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/2f3170_f77d38f4ef994409907c18983467d380~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Sharon Collignon</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[A Place to Pause]]></title><description><![CDATA[For much of my career, I've had the privilege of sitting with people during some of the most meaningful and difficult moments of their lives. One thing I've learned is how important it can be to have someone who will simply listen—to the story, the questions, the grief, and sometimes even the things we don't quite have words for yet. That's one of the reasons I created Arise. I wanted to create a space where people can slow down for a while, talk about what is happening in their lives, and...]]></description><link>https://www.arisesoulcare.com/post/a-place-to-pause</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a95a27871e31f219aabf882</guid><pubDate>Mon, 31 Aug 2026 15:51:23 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/2f3170_103831897c4b4c4c9cc07d4af98e728f~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_790,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Sharon Collignon</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Learning to Sit With Uncertainty]]></title><description><![CDATA[Last month, while we were floating through the Grand Canyon, I kept noticing how little we could see beyond the next bend in the river. We knew where we were going, but we couldn't see what was coming. I've thought about that a lot since then, especially as I've been getting ready to launch Arise. There are certainly things I've planned and prepared for, but there are also plenty of things I simply can't know yet. Who will find me? What will Arise become? Where will this new chapter lead? And...]]></description><link>https://www.arisesoulcare.com/post/learning-to-sit-with-uncertainty</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a95a0f336df210911b99ecd</guid><pubDate>Mon, 31 Aug 2026 15:45:31 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/2f3170_de6ad626fa2c4ac1a9f591cce9a3096e~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_950,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Sharon Collignon</dc:creator></item></channel></rss>
