Grief changes everything.
Not only emotionally, but in the body, the mind,
and our sense of safety in the world.
After my husband Drew died, writing became one of the first places where I could tend to my grief.
But I also learned how important it is to care for our nervous system when processing intense emotions.
This carousel shares a writing ritual and practice that helped me. I hope it might offer a little support to some of you out there navigating loss.
In this carousel you’ll find a brief version of the process:
• a grounding ritual
• writing invitations
• a closing practice
Small, compassionate ways to help make writing a safer place to process grief.
If you’d like the full printable guides, I’ve created two:
WRITE – writing & somatic practices for grief and all types of loss
PARTNER – writing & somatic practices for those navigating the death of a partner
Just DM WRITE or PARTNER and I’ll send them to you.
Save this post for the days you need a little extra care, and feel free to share it with someone whose heart is hurting right now. 🤍
