🌿 She Chose Wellbeing, Cared for Herself, and Came Forward for Support in Her Grieving Times 🌿
While I was taking a session with an elderly woman recently, something shifted inside me.
She had just lost her husband.
Her only son now lived far away.
The home once filled with laughter had turned painfully silent.
I gently asked, “What helps you move through your day?”
She smiled—tired but tender—and said:
"I water my plant every morning. I thank it for staying with me.
I talk to it. Some days I cry.
But that small act reminds me—I’m still here.
I may have lost people, but not my ability to feel, to connect, to care."
In that moment, I saw her coping mechanism wasn’t grand.
It was presence.
A quiet ritual that gave her rhythm, meaning, and a reason to rise.
🌸 Healing isn’t about doing more—it’s about being real with what is.
And gratitude?
It’s not always joy.
It’s the gentle decision to honour whatever remains—and to hold it with love.
🙏 The truth?
Sometimes, the most powerful act of self-care is choosing to keep going.
Even when your heart aches.
Even when no one sees your silent strength.
🌼 Mental wellness doesn’t always look like transformation.
Sometimes, it looks like watering a plant.
Whispering, “I’m still here.”
Finding purpose in the smallest act.
For her, that plant was more than routine.
It was her bridge—from grief to grace.
Her quiet act of choosing to live.
✨ Miracles don’t always arrive with noise.
Sometimes, they grow silently beside a plant—watered by a soul who’s learning to hope again.
🕊️ We may not choose how long we live.
But we can choose how gently and bravely we live—while we’re still here.
