For When You Miss Who They Used to Be

You can love who they are now.

And still miss who they used to be.

Both can be true at the same time.

This guided breathing reset for caregivers uses a back body expansion breath to make a little more room around grief. This 5 minute breathing exercise is for the quiet ache that can come when someone you love has changed.

This episode is for moments when:

• You miss your loved one’s old energy, voice, or personality.
• You feel grief even though they are still here.
• You notice how much has changed and feel the weight of it.
• You need a quiet place to be with what you’re feeling.

Listening Instructions

• You can listen seated, lying down, or wherever you are.
• Eyes open or closed.
• Just five minutes to soften your breath and let your body settle.
