We explore why grief after suicide loss can erase motivation and how to honor that reality without shame. We reframe “doing nothing” as healing, then map tiny actions, five-minute care, and honest limits that support your nervous system and your life.

• what the grieving brain is doing when motivation vanishes
• how the “I don’t want to” loop fuels heaviness and inaction
• allowing feelings to reduce resistance and pressure
• choosing the next smallest step instead of the whole task
• lowering the bar and counting micro wins
• five-minute care containers that restore capacity
• building a bare minimum survival list
• letting grief be the reason, not the excuse
• borrowing strength from your future self
• stillness as active healing, not failure
• spotting when avoidance needs added support
• simple, compassionate closing reminders and resources
