We used botanicals like lavender, butterfly blue pea and hibiscus along with onion peels and chlorophyll to dye our eggs this year. So fun to see what kinds of colors came through! by @tendherlight

The Anatomy of a Grief Care Package 🕯️

When someone we know and love is in the thick of loss, words can fall short. I’ve found that “tending” through plants can offer a bridge of support when there’s simply nothing left to say.

“Stillwater” Tincture:
🌿 Tulsi & Lemon Balm: To soothe a frayed nervous system.
🏵️ Rose & Violet: Gentle, cooling support for the emotional heart.
🍃 Nettles: To nourish a body depleted by stress.
🧘🏻‍♀️ Gotu Kola: For grounded presence when everything feels blurred.

Rounding out the package with immune-boosting Elderberry and the heart-warming, “hug-in-a-bottle” essence of pure homemade Vanilla. Because sometimes the best we can do is just keep our bodies nourished and our hearts a little bit softer 🤎

This package was curated with intention and the utmost love for someone who unexpectedly lost their husband & the father of their young son. 🕊️❤️‍🩹 by @tendherlight

Everything you see and more…every leaf, bloom, root, bush & tree—was planted by our bare hands.
What started as something dreamy ✨ turned into a mini living apothecary 🌿🫙
It’s become a ritual to wake up, open the doors and check on our beloved plants each morning 🌞 👧🏻 🧒🏼
I love ❤️ stepping outside to forage and create:
nourishing foods 🥣, tinctures ✨, syrups 🍯, potions 🧪, elixirs 🌺, teas 🍵… and teaching my children 👐🏻 the importance of caring for the earth 🪶 Our plants attract birds and pollinators 🦋 and this morning we sat with a hawk, overlooking us as it rested on a wire above. We are humbled by our garden everyday 🙏🏼 Come have tea 🫖 with me🧘🏻‍♀️and my friends 🪻🍄‍🟫🐿️🐛🦋🪴🌬️🌱!

Some say grief is just love with nowhere to go
🤎
Some of us are given the gift—and the burden—of saying goodbye
🪽
That goodbye can mean witnessing a depth of suffering that feels just as jarring as sudden loss
🕊️
Grief, in all its forms, is a quiet rite of passage we all have to sit with in this lifetime
🌛
The Earth knows this -
And she tends to us, if we let her
🍃
I created something gentle and supportive for someone whose world shifted in an instant—who lost their father just before they were to be married
✨
A blend of herbal allies to hold the heart, soften the sorrow, and remind us: love doesn’t disappear
🌬️
Thank you, Mother Nature, for your quiet wisdom

🐞 You guys!! I foraged almost everything I needed to make DOLMAS right from the neighborhood! 🌿 Between my garden and two neighbors’ yards, I harvested grape leaves, nasturtium leaves & flowers, rue, parsley, chives, and spearmint—all fresh and hyper-local.
We made two kinds: one wrapped in nasturtium, the other in grape leaves… and they were SO GOOD (the neighbors agree 😉)…thx for the idea, @natalialalonde 🤎
Already dreaming about the next round. Loving this suburban foraging life! 🍋🌱✨There is so much magic right at our fingertips, what have you seen on your recent walks? #ForagedFood #Dolmas #Nature #Homegrown #GardenToTable #EdibleYard #ForagedFood #Forage #SuburbanForaging #FoodsThatHeal #HealYourself #TendHerLight #BotanicalFood #CookWithLove taken in Los Angeles, California by @tendherlight

🪶I recently had the profound honor of cooking & creating for two incredible women in their postpartum stage—often referred to as the “fourth trimester”🌙🌿
✨
With deep care and intention, I crafted carefully thought out blends of teas, broths, elixirs, sitz baths, and body products, each designed to support #immunity, #nourishment, #rest, and #rejuvenation. Every ingredient and #ritual was chosen while keeping in mind the immense physical, emotional, and hormonal #transformation that women undergo after giving birth🪐💫
✨
Our society does not honor women enough—during #pregnancy, postpartum, or beyond. My mission is to change that by offering deeply #nourishing, wellness-focused care designed specifically for mothers in this sacred and vulnerable time. 🤍🌿
✨
This type of support is also so important for those #grieving #loss at any stage of pregnancy. Healing, in all its forms, deserves to be held with love. 🌷🕊
✨
These care packages are the perfect gift for a new mother, someone navigating loss, a baby shower, or even six months postpartum—when the initial rush of support has faded, but the need for care remains just as strong. 🤎 Every care package is customizable with the intention of being deeply personal.
✨
I am beyond excited to share more as this heartfelt mission continues to bloom! 🌸
🪽 I can’t wait to help you support someone you love 🌞
