If you find yourself reaching for comfort in ways you didn’t expect, please don’t be hard on yourself. Grief has a way of softening our defenses and amplifying our need to feel close, seen, and held. Nothing about what you’re feeling is wrong—it simply means your heart is trying to navigate a loss it never asked for. Take your time. Move gently. And remind yourself that you deserve care that doesn’t leave you feeling empty afterward. You are worthy of love that feels safe, steady, and kind… especially now.
