3 Small Wins for: ‘Losing a loved one’

23/02/2026

Happy Monday!

Blending 3 of our pillars, Community + Connection, Introspection + Reflection, Presence + Gratitude, we bring you 3 small prompts that help you to find more joy in your everyday. 1 community celebration, 1 question to ask yourself and 1 action for you to take…

1 Celebration:

Community and Connection

A candle light vigil was held in downtown Truckee, California, where community members came together to honour the 9 lives lost in the recent avalanche. Although very sad, this vigil was resemblance of a public moment of union, remembrance, and community support showing people do care.

P.s. a really cool fact about death / loss we learned recently is there is a specific type of tree which has seeds that are held in cones (often attached to the trunks) and open to release seeds only after fire. At least 500 different trees around the world are like this. So when a forest fire happens, whilst this can often be very sad, it is also necessary for the trees to regrow and release their seeds for new trees. Growth out of death!

1 Question:

Introspection and Reflection

Who do you need to appreciate in your life whilst they are still here? Do you feel like they know you how much you appreciate them?

1 Action:

Presence and Gratitude

This week, cook a meal, play a memorable song, or visit a certain place that reminds you of someone important who you have lost in your life. This can be difficult, especially if the loss is recent, but having small rituals to keep that person in our life is a very powerful tool to help us with grief and moving forwards!

See you next week :)
