Coping in 3 weeks
Not everyone feels ready to dive into the grief of the Three Weeks. Sometimes just holding steady feels like a big win.
If you’re in a season of quiet healing, if you’ve finally caught your breath and don’t want to lose it again—you’re not wrong for that.
Jewish tradition makes room for mourning, yes—but it also makes room for mercy.
Take what serves you. Leave what doesn’t. You’re allowed to honor your healing on your own terms.
