When grief feels heavy, do one or more of these gentle steps:

1. Name your loss out loud
2. Create a small daily ritual - This might be a) taking 3 slow, deep, exhalation-focused breaths; b) giving yourself a genuine, supportive hug; c) repeating to yourself frequently, "I'm just doing TODAY!"; d) giving yourself a heart-felt compliment; e) something else that is especially meaningful to you.
3. Find one moment of beauty
4. Write what you'd want your loved one to know

Your pain matters. Your healing matters too.

Grief isn't linear, but connection makes the path clearer. ✨

🔄 The stages we move through:
• Shock, with denial
• Anger & frustration
• Bargaining, speculating about what-ifs
• Sadness & longing
• Acceptance, finding new meaning

🤝 How community helps:
Shared stories = less isolation
Safe spaces = emotional release
Practical support = daily relief
New perspectives = hope

You don't have to walk this road alone. The right people can help you find light in the darkness.

What's one connection that's helped you recently?

My grandmother always said "traditions are the heartbeats of family."

After we lost her, we started something new:

• Sunday dinner with her favorite recipes
• Lighting a candle for her at holidays
• Sharing our favorite "Grandma stories"
• Planting flowers she loved each spring

These small rituals didn't erase our grief, but they gave it a home. They became our way of saying "you're still with us."

What traditions help your family remember those you've lost? Please share in the comments 💕
