Let’s get started.

Guided Meditation Script for Grief and Loss Script:

Begin by finding a quiet, comfortable place where you can be undisturbed. Take a moment to settle in. Whether you choose to sit or lie down, allow your body to relax fully into the surface beneath you. Let it support your weight completely.

Close your eyes gently if that feels right, or keep them softly focused on a single point. Take a deep breath in through your nose, feeling the cool air enter your lungs, and slowly exhale through your mouth. Let’s do that again—deep inhale... and a long, steady exhale.

As you continue to breathe, notice how each breath brings a sense of calm and presence. With every inhale, imagine drawing in peace and stability. With every exhale, release tension, heaviness, and anything you no longer need in this moment.

Now, gently shift your awareness to your body. Notice where it touches the surface beneath you. Feel the grounding connection, the stability it offers. Remind yourself that in this moment, you are safe, supported, and held.

As you relax further, begin to turn your focus inward. Bring to mind the loss that you are grieving. There’s no need to force specific memories or emotions—simply allow whatever arises to come naturally. This is a space of acceptance and compassion for whatever you are experiencing.

Imagine your grief as if it were an object you could hold in your hands. Picture its shape, its size, its weight. Is it large or small? Heavy or light? Smooth or rough? Warm or cool? Observe it without judgment, simply noticing it as it is.

Take a moment to acknowledge your grief and the feelings it brings. Say to yourself, either silently or aloud:

“I see my grief. I honor it. This grief is a part of me, and it reflects the depth of my love.”

Now, imagine this grief as something that rests within you, not as a burden, but as part of your healing journey. Each emotion you feel—whether sadness, anger, confusion or even numbness—is valid. Let yourself feel without resistance, knowing that these emotions are natural responses to loss.

As you sit with these feelings, begin to envision a soft, warm light forming in the center of your chest. This light is gentle, golden, and radiant. With each breath, feel it growing brighter and larger, filling your chest and spreading outward to every corner of your body.

This light is a source of love and compassion. It holds you gently, providing comfort and reassurance. Let this light wrap around you like a protective cocoon. Allow it to remind you that even in moments of deep pain, there is care and support within you.

Take a few breaths to rest in this light. Let it cradle you, letting you know that it’s okay to be here in this space, just as you are.

If it feels right, visualize this light extending outward from your body. Let it reach toward the person, pet, or situation you are grieving. Imagine this light holding them gently, just as it holds you.

You might want to send them a silent message of love or gratitude. You could say:

“Thank you for the love and memories. I honor your presence in my life, and I carry you with me in my heart.”

Feel the connection between you and what you’ve lost. Although the physical presence may be gone, the bond of love remains strong and eternal. This love is a thread that continues to tie you to what matters most.

Now, reflect on the gratitude you feel for the time you shared with this person or experience. Acknowledge the lessons, joys, and moments of connection that will always remain part of your story.

Say to yourself:

“I am grateful for the love, the lessons, and the memories. They are forever a part of me.”

Let these words resonate within you as you breathe deeply and steadily. Allow gratitude to coexist with grief, offering a sense of peace and balance.

As we prepare to close, bring your attention back to the golden light within you. Feel its warmth, its strength, and its presence. Know that this light is always with you, a steady source of comfort and resilience.

Gently start to bring your awareness back to the present moment. Feel the surface beneath you, the air around you, and the steady rhythm of your breath.

Begin to wiggle your fingers and toes, bringing small movements back into your body. Roll your shoulders or stretch if that feels good. Take a deep, grounding breath in... and exhale fully, feeling present and anchored.

When you are ready, open your eyes and take in your surroundings. Carry this sense of light, love, and compassion with you as you move forward.

Grief is not a linear process—it is a journey, and every step, no matter how small, is meaningful. Be gentle with yourself as you navigate this path. Remember, healing takes time, and it’s okay to move at your own pace.

May you continue to find moments of peace, love, and connection in the days ahead. You are never truly alone.
