About The Soft Word

Welcome to The Soft Word Collection!

I’m Leah, and I’m so glad you’re here!

The Soft Word Collection was born out of my own journey through grief after the sudden loss of my mum, Sandy, in 2020. Poetry became my refuge, my way to process the pain, and eventually, my way to connect with others who were walking through the same storm.

What started as an Instagram space for healing through words has grown into something much bigger. It’s a collection that offers not only poetry, but also products that serve as gentle companions for anyone navigating grief, seeking healing, or supporting a loved one through loss.

At The Soft Word, I create with one core mission: to help others find healing, one word at a time. Whether you’re grieving, supporting someone who is, or simply looking for ways to connect with your inner journey, you’ll find something here designed to soothe your heart and encourage your path forward.

I believe words have a deep power to heal. In my own grief, they’ve been the light on the darkest days, and I hope that through my poetry, guided journeys, and thoughtful products, you can find a sense of peace, comfort, and even hope.

Thank you for being part of this journey with me. Every step you take, whether small or big, is a part of your own healing path, and I’m honoured to walk with you through it.

With love,
Leah xx
