I didn’t expect 11 words to capture grief so perfectly…

But then I heard:
“Some days feel like months. Some months feel like days.”

It stopped me in my tracks because it explains something so many of us feel but can’t put into words, how grief can feel too slow, too fast, or both at once. You’re human, and your grief is moving in its own rhythm.

Does this resonate with you too?💞

Before you fill this in… don’t

A friendly reminder for anyone grieving or feeling stretched: You do not owe this diary page anything. Please feel free to remove it, recycle it, or use it as a coaster.

These pre-January goal setting templates can accidentally create pressure where compassion is needed. Pushing you into becoming a ‘new you’ by January.

Grief doesn’t care about the calendar, and you don’t need to decide your ‘goals and key qualities’ before you’ve even caught your breath. Goals need to be gentle and achievable and match your real life, your energy, and where you are right now.

If this page feels unrealistic or guilt-inducing, rip it out.

Approach the new year at your pace, in your capacity, it’s your year.

National Grief Awareness Week invites us to recognise grief in all its forms.

But some griefs remain invisible.
💜 The grief of a pregnancy that ended too soon
💜 The grief of childlessness, a lifelong identity loss
💜 The grief that sits in the body, even when there’s no socially recognised milestone to point to

This week, let’s widen the lens.
Let’s remember the people whose grief is private, complex, and often misunderstood.
If this is your story, your grief matters, and your feelings are valid.

This surprised me this week…

Sometimes on the CNBC journey it can feel like the emotions we carry are ours alone.

I was reminded this week that “losing yourself” isn’t unique to childlessness, it’s a common human experience.

Hearing a mum in an over 50s group say she no longer knew who she was beyond her children sparked something in me. Not comparison, but perhaps a sense of connection.

For a moment, it lessened that sense of being an “other”.

Our journeys are different, but the feelings can overlap. And sometimes recognising that brings a small measure of comfort.

💙 If this resonates, you’re not alone.

Does this feeling sound familiar?

A different way to look at resilience in grief

Many people dislike the word resilient because it can imply toughness, strength, or “bouncing back” — and in the depths of CNBC grief, or after losing family members, most people feel anything but strong.
What if resilience isn’t something we are, but something we discover later?

In the moment, people feel broken, exhausted, overwhelmed, lost.
Resilience is almost never felt during the grief — it’s something we notice afterwards, when we look back and realise:
“I somehow kept going when I thought I couldn’t.”
“I learned to live with something I never wanted.”
“I grew in ways I didn’t choose but had to.”

Resilience in grief is not about bouncing back.
It’s about bending without breaking, breathing through the unthinkable, and choosing to keep living in a world that looks nothing like we imagined.
It’s quiet, invisible, uncelebrated — and often only recognised in hindsight.

For the CNBC community, especially, resilience can feel like a pressure or an expectation.
But it shouldn’t be.

Resilience isn’t:
being positive
pushing through
pretending you’re okay
being “strong” for others
Resilience is often simply this:

You’re still here. You’re still trying. You’re still learning to carry what life handed you without your consent.

“We can’t become what we need to be by remaining what we are.” – Oprah Winfrey

Grief changes us.
It challenges our old identity, routines, and even the dreams we once held.

But within that painful change lies the possibility of becoming someone new, someone shaped by compassion, courage, and deep self understanding.

Change doesn’t mean forgetting who we were. It means allowing ourselves to grow beyond the loss.

Today is World Kindness Day 💛

Yet kindness feels in short supply at times.
Anger simmers close to the surface, and “attack” too often becomes a form of defence.
But beneath that anger often lies pain, grief, or trauma.

It’s exhausting to live in fight mode.

Maybe kindness starts with self-awareness, and noticing when we’re triggered, taking a breath before reacting, and remembering that everyone is carrying something we can’t see.

Kindness doesn’t need to be showy, it can be quiet and reflective, offered with restraint and compassion.

Let’s make World Kindness Day ripple beyond today, and share this post as a gentle reminder that kindness starts within.
