Offering Ourselves the Same Kindness We Give Others
We are often quick to extend compassion to others, yet hesitant to offer it to ourselves. In grief, self-criticism can grow loud: “I should be further along. I should be stronger.” But what if we met ourselves with the same tenderness we give a dear friend?
“What would I say to a dear friend feeling what I feel now?” You are worthy of the compassion you so freely give.
These reflections are designed to support self-discovery, emotional processing, and healing through seasons of grief, transition, and growth.
The Strength in Gentleness
We are told to be strong, but strength does not always look like holding everything together. Sometimes it looks like resting, crying, asking for help, or simply breathing through another day. Gentleness is not weakness — it is a quieter kind of strength.
“Where have I been trying to be strong when I could be gentle?” Gentleness is a form of courage, a way of saying yes to your own humanity.
These reflections are designed to support self-discovery, emotional processing, and healing through seasons of grief, transition, and growth.
