The Roadmap

A gentle path through the seasons of grief.

No two journeys look alike. These stages are a map, not a schedule. Move through them at your own pace, and circle back as often as you need.

Stage 1 · The first 30 days

Shock and stillness

The world goes quiet and loud at the same time. Don't make big decisions. Accept help. Let routines hold you.

Stage 2 · Months 1–6

Paperwork, finances, and the practical weight of life. Take it in small, kind portions. We have checklists when you're ready.

Stage 3 · Months 6–18

Small joys return — and so does the ache. Both are welcome. Begin noticing what gives you energy.

Stage 4 · Beyond a year

You are not the woman you were, and that is not a betrayal. You are becoming someone new — gently, on your own time.
