When it feels impossible to get up or keep going, know this: survival is enough for today. You don’t need a plan, a timeline, or to have it all together. Grief changes everything—from your body to your identity—and just waking up each day is a courageous act. You’re not a failure for feeling lost. You’re human. Some days, stillness is strength. And when you’re ready, healing begins not by running from the pain, but by gently stepping into it. You didn’t choose this journey, but you can choose how you live within it. You matter. Your healing matters. And you’re not alone.

I know there’s no formula for moving forward—but I also know what it’s like to wish there was. Sometimes, the next step doesn’t come through action. It comes through permission—to pause, to not know yet, to soften instead of strive. When I feel stuck, I ask myself a few gentle questions that help me listen—not to urgency, but to what’s true in my spirit and body. It’s not about having the answer. It’s about making space to hear where God might be leading next.
