Journal prompts about the body and grief

Written By Lori Zaspel

Grief lives in the body: in tension, fatigue, and the instinct to protect. This month invites noticing where grief shows up physically and how the body can become a partner in healing.

  • Where in my body do I feel my grief today?

  • What sensations signal that I’m overwhelmed or shutting down?

  • What movements or stretches feel comforting right now?

  • When was the last time I felt safe in my body?

  • How does rest feel different from collapse?

  • What messages might my body be sending that I haven’t listened to yet?

  • How can I offer my body gratitude for what it carries?
