Grief doesn’t come in neat little boxes.
It shows up all at once, in your bones, your brain, your calendar, your skin.
If you’re here, it might feel like everything is too loud, too fast, too heavy.

You don’t have to fix it all.
You don’t have to feel it all right now.
You can begin with one small thing, and even that can be just being here.

This space is for when you’re completely full and still expected to carry more.
Let’s set some of it down.

Journal Prompt

If you want to write, here’s a gentle place to begin

What feels like too much right now?
If I listed it out, even messily; could I find one thing I can let go of, even temporarily?
What would I say to the part of me that feels like it’s drowning?

Gentle Ritual

If writing feels too much, try something with your hands

The Weighted Breath Practice (2–3 minutes)

1. Sit down. Both feet on the ground. Hands on your lap, or over your heart.

2. Inhale for 4 counts.

3. Hold for 4 counts.

4. Exhale for 6 counts.

5. Repeat 3 times.

Whisper (or think):

“I don’t have to carry everything right now. Just this breath. Just this moment.”

Optional: Try This

Or just walk with me for a minute. No pressure, just presence

The One-Thing Walk

Pick one thing to focus on: your steps, a tree, a colour, your breath.
Let that be your anchor for 2 minutes.
If your thoughts race, that’s okay. Come back to the one thing.

Overwhelmed doesn’t mean broken. It just means full.

Please Remember

You are allowed to pause.
You are allowed to rest.
You don’t have to do this all at once.
