It's not about getting over grief.
It's not about timelines or positivity.
Why this stage of grief can feel confusing, lonely, or unsettling.
Why feeling "stuck" doesn't mean you're failing, it often mean survival has run its course.
How loss can affect identity, confidence, and decision-making.
What "moving forward" can mean without leaving love or memory behind.
Gentle reflections to help you find steadier ground again.
This guide is for you if:
the immediate shock has passed
life looks "okay" on the outside
but inside you feel lost, flat, restless, or unsure what you're meant to do now
This isn't designed for the very early days of grief, or for anyone looking for quick fixes or step-by-step recovery plans.

A Personal Note
I created this guide because I know how disorientating this stage can feel, when life looks like it’s moving forward, but inside you’re not sure how to come with it.
I’ve been here myself, and I now support others through this same space professionally.
You’re not behind. And you’re not meant to have this figured out yet.
