Some people lose their appetite. Others crave comfort foods. Some experience nausea or digestive issues. Grief impacts the gut because our bodies respond to loss as stress. Instead of forcing yourself to eat a certain way, practice gentle nourishment. Small, soothing meals,

Sometimes, grief makes us pull away from touch. Loss can leave us feeling unsafe in our own skin. If touch feels overwhelming, honor that. Safety in the body is a slow rebuild—but it’s possible. #SomaticGrief #TouchAndTrauma #EdyNathan #ItsGrief

Even if your mind forgets the date, your body remembers. Anniversaries of loss can bring waves of grief without warning. Your body is wise. Mark the date. Light a candle. Take a walk. Let your body guide you in honoring what it remembers. How will you honor your body?

The empty chair. What does that image conjure up for you? It’s more than just a picture you might create in your mind, it can also be the reminder of that special someone you’ve loved and lost. Whether it’s at the dinner table, in the car, or at a favorite café, its presence is

Grief. When it hits, it’s powerful. No matter how much you try to outrun it, it finds you. It’s persistent, unpredictable —creeping in without warning or crashing down without mercy. I’ve often called it the uninvited guest. It shows up and demands to be fed. I’ve long admired

The empty chair is real, and so is your grief. Engaging with it doesn’t just acknowledge loss—it honors resilience. Over time, it becomes more than a symbol of absence; it becomes a doorway to knowing who you were, who you are, and who you are becoming. Healing isn’t about

I had a great conversation with Nikki as we delved into one of the only subject more stigmatized than grief or death. Sex. But it’s not what you think, there are so many layers to us as humans and our grief. Listen Here: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/129…
