I was reading a great book called The missing half by and in it was this poem.

After reading this poem, I sat in it for a while.

After losing my sister in 2024, I am very lost without her. I felt I lost a witness to my life.

We were formed in the same story. Same roots.

We had the early memories and the same family language.

That kind of bond doesn’t end because a body does.

We are still:
Two branches of the same tree.
Only one branch is now in heaven.

💭 Say your loved one’s name out loud.

Grief doesn’t end love.

Love doesn’t disappear with loss.

Saying their name is a sacred kind of remembering.

It invites their presence into the moment.

It keeps the connection alive.

Speak it gently.
Whisper it if you need to.
But say it.

🤍 They are still part of your story.

I speak the names of my siblings who have gone before me, William, Vanessa, Maxwell, and Francesca. My parents William and Louise. I represent them all because I am the last of that family unit. It is an honor to speak their names.

🧸 Do something that brought you joy as a child.

Grief can make us feel old and worn.

But joy still lives somewhere inside you—
maybe in coloring
or dancing barefoot
or eating popsicles on the porch.
Today, go visit her.

The younger you.

The one who knew how to play without permission.

✨ She still remembers.

🕊 Watch the sky for 5 minutes.

When everything feels heavy, look up.

Let the clouds pass.
Let the light shift.
Let the sky remind you—this moment will, too.
No need to search for meaning.
Just breathe and be.

☁️ The sky holds things we can’t. Let it hold you today.

💤 Rest with no guilt

Grief is not just emotional—it’s physical. It’s exhausting.

Rest is not laziness.
It’s not avoidance.
It’s medicine.

You’re allowed to unplug.
You’re allowed to lie down.
You’re allowed to not be productive.

Today, give yourself permission to rest—without explanation, without shame.

🤍 Your body deserves it.

🎧 Listen to a calming podcast.

When grief fills your mind with noise,
sometimes hearing a steady, kind voice can help settle your nervous system.

You don’t need motivation.
You don’t need to “learn” anything.
Just something gentle, grounding, and soft enough to carry you through the moment.

Let someone else hold the words today—
you just breathe.

🫶 Say “no” to something that drains you.

Grief already takes so much from you—your energy, your focus, your sense of normal.

You don’t owe your “yes” to anything that leaves you feeling emptier than when you started.

Today, choose rest over obligation.
Quiet over noise.
Self-honoring over self-sacrifice.

Saying “no” doesn’t mean you’re weak.
It means you’re protecting the little energy you have left—
and that is sacred.

🫶 You are allowed to choose yourself today.

🧺 Do one small thing you’ve been avoiding.

Grief drains your energy—mentally, emotionally, physically.
And the tiniest tasks can feel like climbing a mountain.

But today, choose one thing.

Not to be productive.
Not to check a box.
But to remind yourself that you’re still capable, still moving, still here.

Fold the laundry.
Open the letter.
Wash the dish.
Send the reply.
It doesn’t have to be perfect.
It just has to be gentle. 🤍

🍂 Collect something from nature.

A leaf. A feather. A stone.

Something simple, something still.

When you’re grieving, the world can feel far away.
But nature has a way of gently bringing you back—
to breath, to beauty, to the present.

Pick up something that reminds you:
You are part of something ancient, steady, and alive.
Even in this, you belong.

☁️ Name 3 emotions you felt today.

Grief is rarely just one thing.

It’s layered. Messy. Ever-changing.
And naming what you feel is a gentle act of self-awareness.

Maybe today brought:
• sadness
• relief
• guilt
• peace
• confusion

All of it belongs.
You don’t have to fix it. Just notice it.
Let your feelings have space to breathe.

💬 What 3 emotions did you feel today?
