Senior Moment - forgot to share. Guess what. Per this year's Medicare Bloodwork, I am NO longer pre-diabetic!!!

 

My walking EVERY DAY inside my Studio Apt & low carb mediterrean diet (followed my Medicare doctor's suggestion) paid off. 🙃

 

Anyone have any UPDATES to share? 🤔

📰 A late Happy New Year ALL!!!

 

The two months I "stepped away" really helped me to refocus on my passions.

 

Lol, all the drama with the AARP mod made me give up on a group that saved my life. Yes, you guys shared your journeys. Journeys that were not easy, but you did it. 👍

 

As I look back on how far we have ALL come, a smile comes to my face.

 

Gosh, some have moved to another state.

 

Some had to downsize.

 

Some had additional losses. 😭

 

All a part of OUR HEALING.

 

Lol, now let me shut up = yes, the chatterbox who wears your ears out. 😂🤣

 

Wishing ALL a year FULL of hope.

 

Luv,

Nicole 🤗🤗🤗 (Grief Forum)

WE talk about OUR lives before our loss - our loss and life after our loss.

 

Some of us have family and/or friends in OUR lives. While others donot.

 

Some of us have PETS who give us a REASON to get out of bed. Hey, Mister [my cat] is so NOT missing a meal or his "cuddle" time. My boy. 💛

 

Stop by to chat and/or read - it will FILL you up, comfort and may make you giggle. Yes, WE still are grieving while CREATING a new life. A life where WE HONOR luv ones lost with OUR HEALING. 🤗🤗🤗

Hello:

My name is Shirley.  I have losses my entire family of origin plus many cousins, aunts, and uncles. I finally took the time to write about loss.  How it affects us. Ways to get through grief: remembering family, having community, and participating with others in meaningful events. As I wrote my book:  "Life After Death" Resilience, Identity, and Revelations During Grief and After Loss, I was able to experience much healing. I hope it is helpful to others as well:  https://a.co/d/59fEYkY

December 4, 2024.

 

Good Morning ALL!!!

 

I wanted to say a BIG THANK YOU for all the support you guys have had for OUR GROUP.

 

With Julie @JulieT507376 & Sadie  🐕  all packed up, one more STRONGER griever READY to face what life has in store for HER. 👍

 

Wishing OUR dear sweet Julie & Sadie 🐕 all the best - the tears are flowing.

 

WE ALL HAVE SEASONS in our lives and mine has changed. Plan on "stepping away" until February 2025. I will be back!!! 🙃

 

I didnot want to disappear without explaining.

 

Cadee @Cadee2719 , I will keep an eye out for those DELICIOUS baked goods you are sending me. This touches my insides dear friend.

 

*** Everyone should have my email address & mailing address to stay in contact. ***

 

Luv,

Nicole I hope you stop by and let the group know how you are. Your dedication and support to many grieving is noteworthy. I can't always get on the site but offer support when I can. Thank you for your support and caring. Please take good care of yourself and Mister Kitty!

Lol, this site is draining what spark I have left and to be honest, between dealing with AARP and wishing our dear sweet Julie & Sadie all the best - the tears are flowing.

Nicole @Spring2025 ,

 

I understand seasons in our lives and how they change. You have been a constant champion for all of us grievers and I know I am truly grateful for all the support and caring you have shown to me! You will be sorely missed by those of us who know you and by those who will miss the opportunity to be touched by your kindness.

 

🤗🤗🤗
