“I'm grieving and I don't know how to function.”
Grief is real and it is yours. But structure is still the answer. You don't need to perform normalcy — you need one anchor. One thing you do today regardless. That's the bound. Hold it.
Your Practice
Pick one anchor — one walk, one meal cooked at home, one person you check in with. Do that one thing. Don't negotiate it away. Structure is what carries you through grief when nothing else will. Hold the one thing.

“Loss is nothing else but change, and change is Nature's delight.”
