Gentle Tools for When Your Heart Feels Heavy

✍️ My Story: Living with Grief in a World That Keeps Moving

Grief doesn’t follow rules. It doesn’t arrive with a warning or leave when it's supposed to. It’s not tidy or linear. It’s wild. And lonely. And sometimes invisible to the people around you.

When grief entered my life, it didn’t just affect my heart—it took over my body, my mind, and my daily rhythms. I couldn’t sleep, couldn’t focus, couldn’t stop crying over things that made no sense. There were days I felt numb and others I felt like I was made of static electricity—so charged with emotion I could barely breathe.

And yet the world kept spinning. People expected me to “move on,” to “stay strong,” to get back to normal.

But nothing was normal.

Grief changed my nervous system. It affected my hormones. My digestion. My immunity. It made me ache in ways that had no medical explanation. I realized this wasn’t just sadness—it was a full-body trauma response. And I needed to tend to it like I would any wound.

That’s when I started building a grief protocol—not to “fix” the pain, but to create space to feel it and survive it.

I used Finding Joy daily, not because it made the sadness go away, but because it helped me find tiny glimmers of light in the fog. I leaned into LVC Intense Immunity, because grief made me physically sick, again and again, and I needed to protect my body while it felt so vulnerable. I took Bye Bye Bitch on the days where my emotions swung hard—when rage, sorrow, and emptiness collided all at once.

And I gave myself rituals.

I journaled, I cried in the bath, I sat in the sun with my feet on the earth and reminded myself I was still here. I didn’t try to force healing. I let it unfold.

Grief is not a timeline. It’s a landscape. And we all move through it differently.

If you’re in it right now, please know: you’re not broken. You don’t need to explain yourself. You don’t need to perform your pain in a way that makes others comfortable. You just need support that meets you where you are.

This is mine. And if it helps, I offer it to you.
