Self-Care During Grief
This Image Might Help You Survive the Hardest Days
Grief isn’t just emotional—it hits every part of you. Spirit, mind, and body, career, identity. Here’s how to take care of yourself when it feels like everything’s falling apart.
Hey, I’m Philip. I help people navigate grief so they can live with purpose after loss.
If you’re grieving—or love someone who is—hit follow.
I created this illustration because most people think ‘self-care’ is bubble baths and massages. But true healing after loss? It’s deeper than that.
This wheel breaks it down into 6 key areas—You’ll probably wnt to save this video for later.
Physical: "You’re not lazy—your body’s in survival mode. Sleep, movement, and checkups matter."
Psychological: "You’re not crazy—you’re grieving. Therapy, journaling, and asking for help is strength."
Emotional: "You’re not ‘too sensitive.’ Crying, laughing, or yelling—it’s all valid."
Spiritual: "Even if you’ve questioned everything—go find peace in nature, prayer, or service."
Personal: "This grief will change you. That’s okay. Get curious about who you’re becoming."
Professional: "Grief doesn’t clock out at work. Advocate for what you need. You’re human first."
You don’t have to do all of this today. Just one. One small step to remind your body, heart, and soul that you’re still here.
