😴   SWEET dreams at your bedtime tonight everyone!!! Lol, I NEVER know IF I will sleep through the night. But LEARNING to get up when I can't & find something to do. Then try AGAIN when I get sleepy. Hope you guys found some PEACE TODAY. We have to APPRECIATE it when we do = we will get MORE PEACEFUL MOMENTS. We ATTRACT more of what we are "grateful" for. 👍 Expect PEACE my friends. 😉

Luv,

Nicole 🤗🤗🤗 (Grief Forum)

📜   "When YOU experience loss, people say you’ll move through the 5 STAGES of grief. (1) Denial, (2) Anger, (3) Bargaining, (4) Depression, (5) Acceptance. What they don’t tell you is that you’ll cycle through them all every day sometimes." RANATA SUZUKI.

So true.  I’ve experienced them all. It’s very difficult to experience happiness and a positive outlook.

SO GOOD to hear from you Cecilia ​@CeciliaM384861 !!! Yes, I agree with you my friend. EACH day gets "better" & some days I am actually ENJOYING the "people" I am around. My extended family here in Virginia make sure I eat each day. In fact, just "shared" TODAY's dinner with me. But I still "miss" Verl. Hang in there. You will ALWAYS "miss" Terry. Soon we will see them AGAIN. Luv, Nicole 🤗💛

👋  Good Morning Guys!!! HOPE everyone slept well LAST NIGHT. 🤞 Lol, I "kind" of did with DREAMS making my night interesting. In the 40's, here on my Virginia hill. SO GLAD the sun is out. Got to head to Walmart in a few for my MONTHLY non-food trip. Hate going, but they CHEAP. 😉

🤗‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌     SIGNS from love ones we lost!!!

A source of COMFORT on those days/nights when we NEED IT.

(1) Timing: SIGNS often appear when they are most needed, such as on anniversaries, birthdays, or in moments of distress, according to a blogger at O'Connor Mortuary.

(2) Intuition: They are described as giving a sense of peace, love, or comfort, rather than fear.

(3) Directness: They often feel too specific to be coincidences, appearing personal to the relationship you shared.

*** When we get "quiet" (relax, meditate) & "believe" - they will contact us! ‌👍

Dear ​@Xheved , I am so sorry about what you are going through my friend. Losing someone you CARED about is NEVER easy. Sounds like you and your daughter made it through everything the best you could. Yes, our "minds" need to shutoff. Way TOO MANY "memories" of our last moments with them. 😞 I am ALWAYS here whenever you need me to listen and/or chat. So glad you stopped by AGAIN to see us. Hope you will AGAIN.

Luv,

Nicole 🤗🤗🤗 (Grief Forum)

➡️[*** X POSTED - I, somehow, got through the hardest month of the year ...  Last year, my mum passed in the midst of the Jewish Holidays;  I have no recollection of the remainder of the Holidays, any conversations I had with anyone about anything.  I've been dreading September/Tishrei for 11 months!!!  We "celebrate" both the English date and the Jewish date ... My daughter and I were very lowkey about both. 

Now to remember to keep breathing and not think about next year's dates. 

 

Thanksy for 'listening'
