Three Letters to the Nervous System After Loss
Some losses don’t come with closure. They don’t come with explanations. They don’t come with casseroles or sympathy cards.
They come quietly — and they rearrange your nervous system.
The Quiet Recovery is a three-part spoken-word film series about the kind of grief that doesn’t always look like grief — the kind that lives in your ribs, your breath, your sleep, your reactions, your body.
This series is for the ones who:
- Feel tired in ways sleep can’t fix
- Flinch at familiar songs
- Pause in doorways
- Grieve futures that never officially ended
- Are healing in ways no one can see
These are not poems meant to be read quickly. They are meant to be sat with. They are meant to be felt in your chest before they are understood in your head.
They are letters to the part of you that had to survive something quietly —
and is now learning how to live again.
The Three Letters
🌿 Letter One
You Didn’t Leave Empty-Handed
A reflection on quiet goodbyes and the futures that almost happened.
Some people leave quietly. But they still take entire versions of you with them.
🌿 Letter Two
Your Body Remembers First
On somatic grief, invisible loss, and memory without a language.
Your body remembers what your mind tries to move past.
🌿 Letter Three
The First Day You Don’t Brace
On safety returning, breath loosening, and the quiet beginning of peace.
One day your body will stop standing guard at the door of your life.
This is not a series about getting over someone.
It is a series about getting yourself back.
Take your time here. Nothing inside you is behind.
