How This Guide Can Support You
In the early days of grief, it’s common to feel scattered, exhausted, or unsure how to cope. Emotions can surface quickly, the body may stay tense without you realizing it, and even simple things can feel harder than they used to.
The practices in Grief Relief are designed to meet you right there. Not to fix what’s happening, but to offer ways to gently support your body and nervous system. Many people find that these practices create moments of calm, help the breath move more freely, and offer a quiet sense of support when things feel heavy.
