    2016, you’re mine.

    written by Lexi Behrndt

    Maybe this past year was difficult for you. Maybe ‘difficult’ is an understatement. Maybe it was cruel. Maybe it crushed you. Maybe you’re still trying to catch your breath and are bracing yourself still after receiving blow after blow. Maybe you’re heartbroken. Maybe you’ve lost someone who can never be replaced. Maybe you’re wounded. Maybe you’re anxious or depressed and are in a pit that you cannot feasibly climb out of. Maybe you’re hanging on by a single thread, and it feels like your grip is slipping, and you’re not sure how much longer you can keep going. Maybe.

  • Grief and Gratefulness: A Coexistence

    by Lexi Behrndt December 7, 2015

    I never understood grief before, as naturally, no one truly should. I never understood the depth of pain a person could feel. I never understood the uncanny, subconscious ebbs and flows…

  • How to Be Grateful When Life is Hard

    by Lexi Behrndt November 19, 2015

  • I Still Do

    by Lexi Behrndt November 9, 2015

    I’m flawed, that’s for sure. I’m often weak. I’m often distracted. I’m often judgmental, harsh, and need to have much, much more grace for people than I do. I sometimes make…

About This Space

About This Space

Hey there, I'm Lexi.

I'm a filmmaker and [used-to-be] writer based in Florida. I started this website when I was fresh in my grief after the death of my son Charlie when he was 200 days old. I wrote non-stop the first year after his death and then I started a storytelling project called On Coming Alive. After a while, I wanted to step away and keep my grief as something personal and sacred to me. Because of this, I no longer write in this space, but I may someday. However, all these writings will still remain here for anyone who still might just need to know that whatever they are feeling, maybe they're not the only one. Welcome to this space. I hope you find a piece of home here.
