Month 3 of 12
Tender body, tender heart
Gentle care for the body that carried.
This month's theme
Your body carried life, and your body carries this loss. The aches, the fullness that emptied, the milk that came when there was no baby, the hormones quietly shifting, none of it is small. This month is an invitation to bring the same softness to your body that you would bring to a friend in pain. Rest is not weakness. Eating something warm is not weakness. Crying in the shower is not weakness. Your body is not the enemy of your healing. It is part of it.
Three soft prompts
Sit with one. Or all three. Or none today. They will wait for you.
What is your body asking for today, sleep, water, warmth, stillness, movement, touch, that you've been quietly ignoring?
Write a short, kind note to the part of your body that hurts most right now. Speak to it the way you'd speak to your baby.
What is one tiny act of tenderness you could offer your body this week, without earning it, without explaining it?
This stays only with you, on this device. Nothing is sent or saved.
Affirmation
“My body is not broken. It is grieving with me. I will be gentle with us both.”
