There's no timeline for a broken heart. No manual that tells you when you should be "over it" or when the waves of sadness should stop catching you off guard in the middle of ordinary moments.
Grief has this way of showing up uninvited - in the grocery store when you see their favorite cereal, in a song on the radio, in the quiet moments when you reach for your phone to text them before remembering they won't text back. And somehow, the world keeps spinning while yours feels like it's standing completely still.
People mean well when they offer advice about "moving on" or "finding closure," but grief isn't a problem to be solved or a phase to be completed. It's love with nowhere to go, and that love doesn't disappear just because someone else thinks enough time has passed.
What I've learned is that grief isn't something you get over - it's something you grow around. Some days it feels manageable, like a gentle ache. Other days it feels impossible, like you're drowning in memories and missing them so much it physically hurts.
This interactive bracelet was created for those moments when grief feels too heavy to carry alone. When you see it on your wrist, it's more than just a beautiful design - it's a companion who understands. Simply tap your phone to your bracelet and a new affirmation appears, written specifically for those walking through loss.
You can personalize the reminders based on where you are in your journey - selecting from topics like anxiety, depression, grief, loneliness and so many others.
Sometimes it might remind you that there's no "right" way to grieve. Other times, it might offer the permission you didn't know you needed: That it's okay to laugh again, to have good days, and to carry their memory forward in whatever way feels true to you.
If you're walking through loss right now, I hope you'll join us. These little hugs for your wrist are here to remind you that grief is indeed a process - one that deserves patience, compassion, and all the time you need.
What are ZOX made from?
All of our bracelets and watchbands are made from 100% recycled polyester. We currently repurpose nearly 44,000lbs of plastic into the polyester we use to mill our elastic each year.
Are they waterproof?
They sure are! Elastic ZOX bracelets are fine to wear in the water, even our interactive ones. To ensure they do not warp over time, please just use care in removing / stretching them when wet. Elastic prefers air drying and will hold its form far better when it's able to dry without tension.
How do I wash my ZOX?
Caring for your ZOX is incredibly easy: Simply put it through the wash on cold, preferably in a small washer bag. Once it's clean, set it out an a flat surface to dry. That's it!
Other Tips:
- Avoid oils and lotions when wearing ZOX. Fatty acids in oils and some lotions break down the natural rubbers we use in each ZOX and may cause warping.
- If your ZOX is a little tight, don’t be afraid to give it a few good stretches. They’re made to have a fairly snug fit, expanding to work on wrists of almost any size.
