Grief isn’t predictable. You can feel steady one moment and overwhelmed the next without any clear trigger. These shifts aren’t signs that you’re “not coping.” They’re signs that your nervous system is processing in real time.
Instead of bracing for the waves, try noticing them. Let them rise, crest, and settle without labeling them as “setbacks”.
Your emotions don’t need perfection they need space.
Reflection:
If your emotional landscape today was weather, what would it be? How can you care for yourself in that climate?
