Finding Peace Through Loss
There is no timeline for this.
Today we do not try to move past grief. We sit with it. The Quran acknowledges loss directly.
Today’s verse
ٱلَّذِينَ إِذَآ أَصَٰبَتْهُم مُّصِيبَةٌۭ قَالُوٓا۟ إِنَّا لِلَّهِ وَإِنَّآ إِلَيْهِ رَٰجِعُونَ
“Who, when disaster strikes them, say, "Indeed we belong to Allah, and indeed to Him we will return."”
Surah Al-Baqara, 2:156

Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji'un. These words are not just for the moment of hearing news. They are a theological statement about the nature of everything we hold.
Grief is not a failure of faith. The Prophet ﷺ wept when his son Ibrahim died. He said: The eye weeps and the heart grieves, and we do not say except what pleases our Lord.
You are not grieving alone. Every person who has ever loved something has stood here.
Today’s practice
Write their name, or name what you have lost.
In your journal, write the name of who or what you are grieving. Nothing more is required today. Just the name, and that it mattered.
Day 2 will be here when you return.
