Tender Days
A Random Grief Wave
When sadness arrives without warning.
A note from my heart to yours
You don't know why today. Nothing happened. No anniversary. No trigger. No sad song. You were folding laundry, or stirring soup, or driving home, and suddenly the air felt different. 🤍 You don't need a reason. Grief doesn't ask permission. 🤍 You are not regressing. You are remembering. 🤍 The wave will pass. It always does, even when it doesn't feel like it will.
One small thing, right now
Pause wherever you are. Put both feet on the floor.
The wave can move through without taking you under.
Affirmation
“This wave is love that has nowhere else to go. I am still their mother, even on Tuesdays.”
Right now, in my body, the wave feels like…
Stays only with you, on this device.
You made it through today. That is enough.
