Daylight Saving Time change can feel especially difficult when you’re grieving. Even small shifts in routine can deeply affect an already tender heart.

How This Can Affect Grief
• Physical and Emotional Exhaustion: Changes to your body’s internal clock can interrupt sleep and leave you feeling drained making coping with grief harder.
• Time as a Reminder: The clock change can serve as a reminder that time is moving forward — sometimes painfully so — increasing awareness of the distance from someone you love.
• Heightened Anxiety: The “spring forward” shift may bring extra stress, restlessness, and anxiety.

Gentle Ways to Care for Yourself
• Seek Light: Spend time in natural morning light or using a light therapy box.
• Ease Into the Change: Adjusting your sleep schedule gradually — even by 15–20 minutes over several days.
• Practice Self-Compassion: Remind yourself that this transition can be challenging. Offer yourself the same kindness you would give a dear friend.
• Keep Steady Routines: Maintaining familiar daily rhythms and routines.

If this time of year feels harder, you are not alone. It’s okay to move through them gently, at your own pace.
