“Silence can be a sacred companion.”
Welcome, fellow griever.
This is your Daily Nugget from me, Melissa, your host of The Leftover Pieces.
Today we will share a moment of presence, a breath of truth, and a reminder.
Let’s begin.
Before we start, plant your feet and notice how the ground holds you. Even now, you are supported.
Silence can be a sacred companion.
One of grief’s quiet tricks is convincing us we’re fragile — like one more loss, one more memory, might make us shatter. But look at you. You’ve been walking this uneven, unmarked path for longer than you thought possible. Your steps may be wobbly, your pace uncertain, but you have learned how to keep moving through landscapes you never wanted to see. And maybe that’s the truth worth holding today: you are already doing what once felt impossible. That is not just survival — that’s strength, even if it doesn’t feel like it.
Now, take another breath.
Let this moment be enough.
Carry the piece that speaks to you.
You’re not alone in this remembering.
I’ll be here again tomorrow.
Talk soon.
