Grief & Loss
A compassionate path through loss, at your own pace.
Grief does not follow the schedule anyone sets for it. It lives in the body, it comes in waves, and it can return months or years later without asking whether you are supposed to be over it by now. None of that is a relapse. It is how grief moves.
This program is eight short practices for carrying loss at your own pace. It opens with a reading called Grief Is Love With Nowhere to Go, and it makes room for the parts of grief that rarely get named: the losses no one validates, the anger and the guilt and even the relief, the pressure from other people to be better by now.
It is not a course to complete. You do not have to carry this alone, and you do not have to be over it.

A prompt from inside
What do you miss most specifically? Not the person in general. One small, particular thing. Start anywhere, and stop whenever you need to.
Journal prompts in Stillee are short on purpose. Three sentences is usually enough. Five is plenty. The point is the look, not the essay.
FAQ
The questions people ask before starting.
Is this grief therapy?
No. These are supportive practices, not treatment. If grief is keeping you from functioning, please reach out to a clinician or a grief counselor. The first practice includes a plain word on when to reach for more.
How soon after a loss can I start?
Whenever you choose. There is no right time, and nothing here assumes the loss is recent. A wave that arrives years later is part of grief too.
My loss is not a death. Does this still apply?
Yes. One practice is specifically for the losses the world does not name, the ones grieved in private.
