Grief is Like Daylight Savings

Loss distorts the rhythm of time.

Morning feels wrong.

Night feels heavier.

Weekends feel endless.

The familiar feels foreign.

The ordinary feels unsteady.

Your body cannot find its bearings.

You try to move forward,

but everything feels out of sync.

Days blur together.

You think you are beginning to adjust,

but then everything shifts again.

It is not a change you adapt to once.

It is a change that keeps changing.

Again and again, you must find your footing.

And each time, it feels like starting over.

Grief is not a single adjustment.

It is a lifetime of recalibrating.

Learning to live in hours that never feel quite right.

Yet still, you find ways to keep going.

This metaphor will be featured in an upcoming book.   

Find my first book, Grief is Like a Donut, on Amazon:

Grief is Like a Donut offers gentle support for those navigating the heartache of loss. Beautifully illustrated and poetic, this book uses metaphors, and images to reflect the confusion, numbness, and unexpected pockets of sweetness that grief can bring.

Perfect for times when focus is difficult, each metaphor is independent, so the book can be read a little at a time and in any order. It is a companion for moments when you need to pause, reflect, or simply feel understood.

Rather than trying to define grief, this book illuminates the many ways loss shows up in our bodies, minds, and lives, offering comfort, validation, and the sense of being seen.
