A Gentle Meditation For Grief

This guided meditation offers gentle support for those experiencing grief, using a trauma-informed approach grounded in the dual process model of grief. Rather than asking you to process or resolve loss, this practice invites awareness, choice, and pacing — honoring the natural movement between turning toward grief and turning toward rest or restoration.
You’ll be guided to first establish a sense of present-moment grounding, then gently acknowledge grief as it shows up in the body, and finally reconnect with moments of steadiness or ease. Throughout the practice, you’re encouraged to listen in a way that feels supportive for you, with permission to pause, adjust, or step back at any time.
This meditation may be helpful for ongoing grief, recent loss, or moments when grief resurfaces. No prior meditation experience is required.
