Sometimes we get stuck in an aspect of these changes in our lives. The familiar is gone. However it's possible to make a new familiar. And so we start from there. Like millions of people before us. Time takes time.

MC @mc6844 wrote on Thursday 11/7/24:

 

I attended the event today - finding meaning in loss. I found out some information about grief I wasn't aware. One was looking for the familiar no longer there. Acceptance is what we get from that. I think acceptance is a back and forth type of thing, not easy to attain.         

 

Also, It becomes necessary to recognize how grief impacts our lives. That out own journeys are important too. And not to worry how others perceive us, if something doesn't have to be done today or tomorrow, that's fine.

 

I think people will definitely hear something that will help in an area they feel stuck. For instance, the moderator said he was certain he saw his deceased wife in the grocery store. He kept looking for her there. I kept buying groceries and cooking for two or more people for a year and a half. Wasn't good for my widow's budget either lol. Doing better with that now thank goodness.                       

 

Attending these events is a way to move forward. No worries about transportation and no cost. Most grief events are not.

You are welcome @cb54357578 . There is an email address with the event information for the Texas AARP branch who is hosting this event. Maybe they may have some options for you IF you cannot attend the 10/17/24 session. Good Luck, Luv Nicole  ๐Ÿค—๐Ÿค—๐Ÿค—

Right after I registered, I remembered that I have a conflict and I don't think I'll be able to attend. Is the video made available afterwards?
