The Bracing 13
A 13-month grief workbook for the first year after a death.
Part planner, part companion, part holding space — built to help you carry everyday life and grief in the same hands. Not a fill-in-the-blank journal. A real, narrative-driven guide that walks with you week by week.

What's Inside
Every week has a purpose. Every month has a theme. Nothing is filler.
The 13 Months
Each month meets you where you are in the grief journey.
The Fog
Surviving the first weeks. What to expect when your brain isn't working right.
The Body Keeps Score
Physical grief symptoms nobody warned you about — and what to do with them.
The First Firsts
Navigating the first holidays, birthdays, and milestones without them.
The Anger Nobody Talks About
Permission to be furious. Tools for when the grief turns sharp.
The Guilt Spiral
What if, if only, I should have. Breaking the loop.
The Six-Month Wall
When everyone else has moved on and you haven't. You're not behind.
Who Am I Now?
Identity after loss. Finding yourself when the person you were is gone too.
The Complicated Stuff
Complicated grief, unfinished business, and things left unsaid.
Connection & Isolation
Why grief makes you pull away — and how to find your people anyway.
Meaning & Memory
Honoring them without being consumed. Keeping them close without staying stuck.
The Almost-Year
Approaching the anniversary. How to prepare, not just survive.
The First Year
You made it. What now? Integrating the loss into the life you're still building.
The Bridge
The month after the year. Where grief lives now — and where you go from here.
