“Hello --It is May 5th and welcome to Wonderland Fellow Griever. — “You’ve just stepped Down the Rabbit Hole — where mental health meets madness after loss. Let’s get real, together. This is your daily dose of truth, grief, and yes, just the right bit of madness.”

WEEK 1: I discuss Identity & Transformation

Day 5: Today’s truth is: "How puzzling all these changes are!" Idea: The disorientation of early grief.  

Grief doesn’t just change our hearts — it changes our brains. Maybe you can’t concentrate. Maybe words slip away. Maybe everything feels upside-down. That’s normal.

There’s nothing wrong with you. Your brain is doing the best it can to survive something it was never built for.

Give yourself routines today. Anchor yourself with small rituals — a cup of tea, a walk at the same time every day, a five-minute check-in with yourself. These little things create steadiness when everything else feels like a storm.

So, that's all for now...that's the nugget to carry today

Take a breath. Take what you need. And come back tomorrow because, remember, you're not broken—you're grieving. And you're not alone in this madness. ---I'll be right here Talk Soon."
