In the first 72 hours after a loss, the hardest part is often not leaving the house — it's deciding what still counts as showing up.

This ebook gives you a framework you can use today. Not inspiration. Not platitudes. Just practical guidance for the ordinary commitments that don't pause when grief arrives.

What's inside:

• The "Small Steps, Present Self" framework — choose one visible commitment, one private limit, and one recovery point • "The Day Still Has Edges" — navigating the first return to school pickup, the office kitchen, and parent-teacher meetings • "Cancel the Right Things, Not the Whole Week" — deciding what gets removed from the calendar before 7:00 a.m. • Public / Private / Recovery boundaries — practical examples tied to school pickup, staff meetings, grocery runs, and recitals

Free. No judgment about the size or shape of your grief. Just something you can use right now.
