WE ARE SORRY about your loss 💛

GROUP DISCUSSION!!!

What "type" of SUPPORT would you like from THIS GROUP?

➡️[*** MY RESPONSE - Just knowing how OTHERS are getting through their "grief" helps me to NOT "focus" 24/7 on mine. Listening & chatting here has ADDED so much to my life. Thank you SO MUCH for stopping by when you can. Members Helping Members!!! 👍

GROUP DISCUSSION!!!

☃️ Winter can be a CHALLENGE for some of us as we try to stay warm indoors. Do you have any plans in place to get through this season?

➡️[*** MY RESPONSE - I have NEVER done well with this season. Then add losing my husband DIDNOT help. But I am VERY HOPEFUL that I will "figure" out a way to find some JOY in the midst of the snow & ice. 🤞

😞‌‌  Losing a CHILD is one of the most devastating and unnatural experiences a person can face.

‌‌➡️‌‌[*** We are "suppose" to die BEFORE them!!! ‌‌😤‌‌

(1) Find SPECIALIZED Support Groups: Connecting with other bereaved parents can provide profound validation and understanding. 

(2) MEMORIALIZE Your Child: Finding ways to honor your child can be deeply comforting. Whether through a dedicated ritual, donating to a cause they cared about, or simply talking about them, actively remembering allows you to carry your child forward.

*** I am SO SORRY for your loss dear friend. Nicole ‌🤗‌‌💛

Lol Cecilia ​@CeciliaM384861 , I am the same way!!! And thanks for the birthday wishes. Last year my only child (daughter) came to see me for that birthday. We had NOT seen each other since her visit before in 2019. Also for my birthday.

Luv,

Nicole 🤗💛

➡️[*** CECILIA POSTED - Nicole, happy belated birthday to you!  I understand how you feel about your birthday being bittersweet. I always tell my kiddos not to buy me gifts cause I don’t need anything - but do they listen?  Not always. But I appreciate them either way. Enjoy this Monday - it’s cloudy and cool here in Wisconsin but it’s a great day to get things done👍

SO GLAD you stopped by to see us Cecilia ​@CeciliaM384861 !!!

That is awesome about sleeping well & being surrounded by your "support" TEAM. 👍

Luv your NEW AVATAR. I changed mine too. I change for the seasons. Fall is here in Virginia. 😉 My FAVORITE season.

Lol, I ONLY go shopping when I am out of food. I would do "delivery or pick up" but like choosing my own items. And I am cheap too. 😅

Want to come do some things around my Studio Apt? I tell you, being LAZY really comes back & bites you in the booty - but I am having LESS lazy days.

Luv,

Nicole 🤗🤗🤗 (Grief Forum)

➡️[*** CHRISTINE POSTED - Hi Nicole. I slept well. This weekend was great. I was surrounded by my children and grandchildren. Today I’ll be doing things around the house which is a good thing. I hope you have a great day. Enjoy shopping!!!
