WE ARE SORRY about your loss 💛

👋  Wishing you guys a day FULL OF PEACE today!!! 🤞

Keep stepping.

Get back up when you fall (get sad).

And KNOW your luv ones are ALWAYS with you. Honor them by continuing to "live" in spite of YOUR GRIEF.

You got this my friend = you will look back on your journey & SEE that you survived. NEVER GIVE UP on life or yourself. SOON you will be sleeping, laughing and so on. 👍

Luv,

Nicole 🤗🤗🤗 (Grief Forum)

😴  Dark here for me, getting ready to enjoy PBS Masterpiece at 8pm ET. 🙃

Cecilia ​@CeciliaM384861 , I did "respond" to the info you posted about your phone. I guess the AARP Spam Alert (software) is holding on to it. If it does NOT post, hopefully this one will.

COPY OF MISSING POST.

Michelle ​@MichelleC103656 , sounds like it would be best to REpost your pictures using YOUR PHONE. Geez, I hate this new setup. Our phones worked for Cecilia & myself. 💛🤗

AARP Expert Jane ​@JaneCares & Michelle ​@MichelleC103656 , thank you SO MUCH for the "kudos" TODAY!!! 💛🤗

Michelle ​@MichelleC103656 & Cecilia ​@CeciliaM384861 , I just bumped up an article by AARP Expert Amy ​@agoyer . She has some "suggestions" on surviving the coming holidays. Here is the LINK below.

Elizabeth Kubler-Ross poignantly captures the essence of grief with her words. The overwhelming grief we feel after losing a loved one leaves our hearts feeling badly broken, signifying the enduring nature of love after loss. Instead, it becomes a part of us, reshaping our hearts and lives.

This quote reminds us that the deep grief we carry is a reflection of the profound love we held for the departed, a grief of deep contrition. It is a lifelong journey of learning to live with the absence, integrating the grief into our daily existence.

GROUP DISCUSSION!!!

On those days/nights when "depression" comes knocking at YOUR DOOR, what do you do? Grieving has those times & NEVER "feel" ashamed. It is all part of OUR JOURNEY to "creating" a life without someone we cared about.

➡️[*** MY RESPONSE - on days like today (raining), I take naps, walk indoors (lol, yes-I get in some steps while listening to music), watch movies, eat TOO MUCH 🙄 & know that SOON this will pass. Maybe the SAME day/night or the NEXT. Sometimes "talking with OTHERS or reading something UPLIFTING" helps. I keep "trying" different things until I feel better. 😉

Grief & Loss Team 🤗

👋  Good Morning members & furbabies!!! Hope you guys were able to get some "sleep" in LAST NIGHT. Lol, for some of us (Michelle ​@MichelleC103656 & myself), we were up "chatting" here. 🙄 Another "rainy" day here on my Virginia hill.

Luv,

Nicole 🤗🤗🤗 (Grief Forum)

Hey Michelle ​@MichelleC103656 , I hate that we lost the pictures you had posted when AARP changed to this NEW SETUP.

In your post you mentioned getting an error message when posting them AGAIN.

What link? You mentioned one?

I was able to post the pictures of Mister on the NEW SETUP using my Android Cell Phone.

Cecilia ​@CeciliaM384861 , what DEVICE did you use to post your picture YESTERDAY?

Anyway, NO rush on responding, just want to help here.

Luv,

Nicole 🤗🤗🤗 (Grief Forum)

😴  It's that time again. Time to get stuff done & prepare for sleep tonight. Thank you SO MUCH for stopping by dear Cecelia ​@CeciliaM384861 & Michelle ​@MichelleC103656 . Everyone, remember - we may NOT have "completed" ALL that we were suppose to do today, but there is tomorrow. Be GENTLE with yourself.

Luv,

Nicole 🤗🤗🤗 (Grief Forum)
