Today's Takeaways:
Regret Is Natural In the heat of conflict we speak and act with what we know in the moment. Acknowledge any regrets then offer yourself the same compassion you would extend to a friend.
Ask Then Honor There is no one size fits all approach to supporting someone in grief. Simply ask, “What do you need from me right now?” and follow through.
“Soften Yourself” When self criticism creeps in, counter it with gentle practices like mindful breathing, progressive muscle relaxation, or a moment of stillness. Kindness toward yourself is the first step to healing.
Presence Over Perfect Words Sometimes the greatest gift is silence. If words fail you, let your quiet presence speak volumes.
Grief Lives Beyond the Ceremony Memorial services end, but grief does not. Expect waves of emotion over time and honor your own unique timeline.
Permission to Feel Joy Experiencing happiness or laughter does not diminish your love or loss. Allow yourself moments of light even as you grieve.
Speak Up When It HurtsIf a comment or gesture wounds you, gently let others know. Sharing your pain helps others learn how to support you and protects your heart in future interactions.
