When everything feels too much
You’re not meant to understand everything right now.
For the days when you’re just trying to get through.
When your body is in shock, your thoughts won’t slow down, or everything feels unreal.
You don’t need fixing.
You need steadiness, gentleness, and somewhere to land.
This space is for the very early days, or for moments when grief suddenly knocks the air out of you again.
Survival Kits
Simple, supportive tools for the early days, when concentration is low and everything feels heavy.
Nothing to complete. Nothing to get “right.”
Just small anchors for hard moments.
Designed to be used slowly, imperfectly, or not at all.
If you can only manage one small thing today, this is a good place to start.
Gentle Resources
Soft entry points into understanding grief, trauma, and shock.
Words to keep, quiet prompts, and gentle resources you can dip in and out of, or close the moment it’s too much.
No pressure. No fixing. Just support that meets you where you are.
You’re allowed to take only what you need, and leave the rest.
What’s happening to me?
If you feel numb, panicked, foggy, angry, disconnected, or completely unlike yourself you’re not broken.
These short explanations help make sense of what grief is doing to your body and mind, without overwhelm or clinical language.
Grounded in lived experience and trauma-informed understanding.
Understanding doesn’t make the pain disappear, but it can make it feel less frightening.
A gentle reminder
You don’t have to do all of this.
You don’t have to read everything.
You don’t have to move faster than your body allows.
Start with whatever feels most manageable today.
