After a grief-heavy holiday, let this Monday be soft.
Maybe you held it together all weekend. Maybe you stayed home and second-guessed yourself. Maybe you felt numb then, and everything is hitting you now.
Whatever your grief looks like today, you don’t have to power through it.
You’re allowed to move slower. You’re allowed to rest. You’re allowed to be honest about how much it all took out of you.

Educational content, not therapy.
For more support, scripts, rituals, and nervous system practices, the Preparing for the Fall Grief Toolkit™ is linked in my bio. If you’re in crisis, call or text 988 (US) or use local resources.

One way grief shows up during the holidays?
You look at the calendar and feel your whole body say,
“I cannot do all of that.”

But the pressure is real:
to host, to show up for everyone, to pretend,
to “keep traditions alive” even when you feel different now.

You’re allowed to let your grief guide what’s a:
🟢 yes (this feels okay enough)
🟡 maybe (only with limits or support)
🔴 no (not this year)

That might look like:

• choosing a smaller gathering over a big one
• leaving earlier than you used to
• releasing the expectation that you’ll host like before
• skipping a tradition that hurts more than it helps

You don’t owe your past self, or anyone else,
the exact same version of the holidays.

Your grief is allowed to change the map.

This is educational content, not therapy.

So often, we’re told that time will heal, or that we just need to move on. But grief isn’t something to get over. It’s a relationship that changes form; the love we carry with nowhere to put it.

“Grief is the love that has nowhere to go, until we give it small, sacred places to land.”

If you’re carrying grief this season, you don’t have to hold it alone. I offer free consultations if you’d like to explore what gentle healing could look like for you. Link in bio.

If you know this season is going to stir up a lot, the Preparing for Fall Grief Toolkit™ in my bio has gentle practices, scripts, and prompts to help you prepare.

You don’t have to pretend you’re okay this season: feelings can be mixed, timing can be strange, love can ache. Grief and celebration can sit side by side; remembrance can soften a moment; joy can visit without canceling the pain. Give yourself simple kindness: lighter plans, slower mornings, permission to cry, room to laugh when it comes. Try tiny rituals that ground the body and honor the heart: light a candle, breathe by a window, say their name out loud, keep a small memento nearby.
Be gentle with yourself this holiday; you are allowed to take up tender space.

Healing happens in the gentle presence of another: a friend who listens without fixing, a community that holds your story, a therapist who helps you find your way back to yourself. You don’t have to carry it alone.

“Rarely, if ever, are any of us healed in isolation. Healing is an act of communion.” — bell hooks

If you’re ready for support that honors your pace and your pain, I offer free consultations to help you explore what healing in connection might look like for you. 💜 Schedule your consultation through the link in bio.

Some years, the season arrives on time; your heart does not. There is no countdown to “over it”; grief moves like weather. If tears show up, let them; saltwater often clears what words cannot. Rest like it matters because it does; try small pauses: slower mornings, a screen-free walk, a kinder bedtime. Reach for a steady voice; send the text, accept the soup, let someone sit with you. If laughter slips in, welcome it; joy and ache can share a room.

Save for hard days; share with someone carrying a lot. For current offerings, visit the link in bio; availability varies by location.

In grief, rest can feel impossible. The world keeps moving while your heart is still trying to catch up. But choosing rest, choosing to pause, is a quiet act of defiance in a culture that demands productivity even from our pain.

Rest says: I will not rush my healing.
Rest says: My worth is not measured by how quickly I “move on.”
Rest says: This ache deserves tenderness, not urgency.

If you’re tired, you’re allowed to stop. Grief is heavy work. Let your body remember that rest, too, is part of healing.

What autumn teaches us about grief
When the season feels heavy or too full, small rituals can steady you.
Light a candle as the days shorten. Stir a favorite dish that warms your hands.
Write a note to the past you who kept going.
Like leaves letting go, these moments can hold you while you move through the holidays.
What autumn ritual keeps you connected to what (or who) still matters?
If this season is stirring up more than you can carry alone, you’re not failing; you’re human. If you’d like support, reach out to begin therapy. Link in bio.
