created by someone who needed this, too.
About The Gentle Grief
The Gentle Grief was created for the time after a loved one is gone — when it’s hard to put words to what you carry, and familiar language no longer fits.
We create practical resources without timelines or prescribed ways to use them.
Just tools you can choose, or not, as you see fit.
Why this exists
The Gentle Grief was created after my mum died suddenly due to preventable medical errors, while I was pregnant with my first child.
In the time that followed, I noticed a gap between what people experiencing grief are often offered, and what is actually useful.
Much of what exists is either overly clinical or emotionally prescriptive — telling people how to feel, how to heal, or how to move forward.
That wasn’t what I needed.
What helped
What helped were simple, practical acts:
writing things down
remembering deliberately
practicing presence
intentionality
exposure therapy
and just most imporantly –
having spaces where grief could exist without needing to be analysed or resolved.
What this is
The Gentle Grief exists to offer tools for that.
Journals, prompts, and resources designed to be used alongside life — not instead of it.
This work is not about fixing grief or moving past it.
It’s about creating practical ways to carry memory, love, and loss forward, on your own terms.
Whats in a name?
Grief is rarely gentle.
But the way we meet it can be.
The Gentle Grief encompasses the dichotomy and duality of life.
As a daughter grieving her Mother right at the moment of becoming a Mother, I've had both grief and gentleness intertwined throughout both journeys.
It felt only right to honour both together, too.
