When Grief Hits Hard:
Tools for the Moments You Can’t Breathe
Simple practices to help you feel safe again when loss feels overwhelming
It often happens without warning.
You’re going about your day, and then it hits you again - they’re really gone.
Your chest tightens. You can’t catch your breath. Everything feels unsafe, unsteady, like the ground just disappeared beneath you.
I know that feeling.
After my mom Polly died, those realisations kept coming. Over and over. Each time felt like the first time - that crushing weight, that desperate need to just… breathe again.
I’d find myself on the floor of my living room, hands pressed flat against the ground, just trying to feel something solid. Something safe.
I’d sway gently, the way you might rock a baby, bringing that nurturing motion back to my own body. And I’d breathe - slow, intentional, deep breaths - just to release the tension enough to keep going.
These weren’t fancy techniques. They were survival tools. The things that helped me make it through those unbearable moments.
And that’s what I’ve created for you here.
Inside “When Grief is Heavy,” you’ll find:
9 gentle somatic exercises you can do anywhere, anytime - when you’re on your bedroom floor at 3am, sitting in your car before work, or trying to make it through another day
3 guided audio recordings of me talking you through: a calming meditation, a body scan to release tension, and a sleep meditation for those endless nights
Practices that take just moments but help you find your way back to steady ground
This isn’t about “healing” or “finding meaning” in your grief.
As one person who used these tools said: “Finally, someone who doesn’t pretend grief is beautiful or meaningful. It’s horrible. And this really helps.”
That’s it. That’s the promise.
When grief feels horrible and overwhelming, you’ll have something that actually helps.
You’re not alone in this. And you don’t have to figure out how to breathe through it by yourself.
