AskTahmid Lost my brother and sister 6 years ago. Now I share what loss, trauma, and the science of healing actually look like.
🫂 You're not alone in this.

https://bio.site/asktahmid I started The Grief Thread after losing my little sister to an overdose and my brother to suicide. For a long time, I didn’t know where to put the love I still had for them. So I built this space — for myself, and for anyone still carrying someone they didn’t get to keep. The name comes from the idea that grief doesn’t just go away. It becomes a thread in our lives — sometimes visible, sometimes tucked beneath the surface, but always there. It connects us to who we lost. And to others who understand. Every item in this shop is designed to honour that thread. To give shape to the memory. To say what still hurts. To remind you that you're not alone. Whether you’re wearing something, gifting something, or quietly keeping it close —
I hope it brings you some connection, some comfort, and a way to keep weaving your own grief story forward. Thank you for being here.

Sibling grief is one of the most overlooked forms of loss.

After losing both my brother and sister, I struggled to understand why it felt like I had lost a part of myself too.

The neuroscience of grief may offer part of the answer: the people we love become embedded in how we experience ourselves, our past, and our future.

I like to think that the people we’ve lost are still talking about us somewhere.

That when a memory suddenly comes to mind, or we find ourselves thinking about them for no particular reason, maybe it’s their way of reminding us that the love is still there.

Of course, we can’t know what happens after death. But sometimes it’s comforting to imagine that while we’re down here remembering them, they’re somewhere remembering us too.

And even if that’s not how it works, one thing I do know is that their stories don’t have to end when their lives do. We can keep their memories alive by talking about them, sharing their stories and remembering the little things that made them who they were. 💛

That’s why we’re building Afterglow, a place where grief can be shared, people can connect through loss, and those we’ve lost can always be remembered.

Sometimes surviving what happened feels like the hardest part.
But healing can be hard in a different way.

You’re not just trying to “move on.” You’re learning how to live with what happened, how to carry the memories and how to make space for joy without feeling like you’re betraying the pain.

Grief and trauma don’t disappear just because time passes. But slowly, they can take up less of your whole world.

You made it through the part that broke you. Now you’re learning how to live again.

And if you’re grieving someone you lost, Afterglow is a place to keep their memory alive, share their story, and connect with people who understand.

Sometimes grief feels like the price of loving someone deeply.

It hurts because they mattered. Because they were part of your life, your routines, your memories and the future you imagined. And even though they’re no longer here, the love doesn’t just disappear.

In a strange way, grief becomes one of the places that love continues to live.

That’s part of why I’m building Afterglow so the people we’ve lost still have somewhere to be remembered, talked about and kept part of our lives.

Some people sit with you in your pain while carrying things you may never even fully see.

They listen. They check in. They make space for your grief without trying to fix it. And sometimes only later do you realise they were going through their own difficult season too.

And if you’re grieving and need more spaces where you don’t have to explain why you still miss someone, that’s what we’re building Afterglow for.
