A Quiet Space for Your Heart
Write how you feel today, or a few words to the person you miss.
If typing feels like too much today, just tap one:
It sounds like things feel very hard right now, and you do not have to carry this alone. Please reach out to someone you trust, your doctor, or a support line in your country. If you are in immediate danger, call your local emergency number. (In the US, call or text 988. In the UK and Ireland, call Samaritans on 116 123.)
If Your Chest Feels Heavy Right Now
You do not need to figure anything out. Just follow the warm lantern for a few slow breaths.
A slow breathing guide: breathe in for four seconds as the lantern grows, and out for six seconds as it settles.
Feel your feet on the floor
Press them gently down. Notice the ground holding you up.
Soften your shoulders
Let them drop away from your ears. Unclench your hands and let them rest in your lap.
Place a hand over your heart
Feel its warmth. Tell yourself softly: "I am still here. I only have to get through this moment."
Look around the room
Name three things you can see, and one sound you can hear.
"It is alright if you cry today, or if you feel numb. Both are ways the heart protects itself."
