Dear Mary @MaryY478742 , I am sorry about your loss dear friend!!! I lost mine to COVID. It is a "loss" we will ALWAYS feel as we "try" to create a life WITHOUT them. How are you doing? Do you have any support? This support can be in-person or online or another way. Mine comes from this group, extended family in Virginia where I live & my only child in Florida. At age 68 I know I will have to move "closer" to her when I can NO longer "drive" or live alone. DREADING that day as Florida "stays" HOT but I do "miss" her everyday. She does "check" on me everyday in spite of a VERY BUSY professional & personal schedule. Individual Counseling helped to "balance" me in 2025 once I REGAINED interest in leaving my 4 walls. Still a hermit, but getting "closer" to finding PEACE more often. The nights are the WORST. Exhausted & hoping with "time" this will resolve itself. I am SO GLAD you stopped by to see us. We are ALWAYS here for you & hope you will stop by AGAIN. 👣 1 step at a time when you "feel" up to it. Hang in there!!! Luv, Nicole 🤗🤗🤗 (Grief Forum)

👣 Choose ONE gentle step today!!!
You don't need a long list of goals. You only need ONE small, next step.

Consider trying ONE of these today:

(1) Drink a glass of water and eat something nourishing.
(2) Step outside and notice God's creation for a few minutes.
(3) Turn off the news or social media if it feels overwhelming.
(4) Listen to worship music or quietly read a Psalm.
(5) Wrap yourself in a soft blanket, light a candle, or sit somewhere peaceful.
(6) Call or text one trusted friend.
(7) Write an honest prayer to God—even if it's only a few words.

One of the quiet gifts of OUR GROUP is that others understand something they thought no one else could understand. They hear someone say the thing they were afraid to say. They notice that their anger, guilt, numbness, relief, confusion, dreams, exhaustion, or longing is not strange after all.
