Fall is harvest season—the time of year when fields are gathered and stored, when months of waiting finally produce something tangible. But what happens when the soil feels too hard, too dry, too broken? That’s what grief can feel like.
When we’re grieving, it often feels like nothing can grow. Joy feels distant, laughter feels foreign, and hope feels buried beneath the weight of loss. And yet…the smallest seeds of resilience can still take root, even in the hardest soil.
Hope doesn’t always show up as big victories. Sometimes it’s a smile you didn’t expect. Sometimes it’s a memory that makes you laugh more than cry. Sometimes it’s simply making it through another day.
✨ Coaching Tip: This week, write down one “seed of hope.” It might be a kind word someone shared, a song that lifted your spirit, or even the fact that you got out of bed. Collect these seeds in a jar or journal—you’ll be surprised at how they multiply.
✨ Quote to Carry With You:
"They tried to bury us. They didn’t know we were seeds." — Mexican Proverb
Even in grief’s hardest soil, there’s still space for new growth. Be patient with yourself. You’re tending a heart that has been through so much. And slowly, gently, hope will rise.
