📎 READY TO MOVE FORWARD ON YOUR HEALING JOURNEY? 🤔

Follow YOUR purpose.

Griffin recommends thinking of three things you enjoy doing the most — cooking, gardening, reading stories, sports, whatever.

Or make a list of the things you have always wanted to learn more about. Then poke around to find a free class online or at a local community college or university. You will learn a new skill and meet people interested in the same subjects.

Great ideas Nicole. I took free computer classes at the local high school some years ago. I was grateful to learn new skills. I knew a girl who took woodworking and built a lovely dresser. You can learn skills and if course meet new people. The other people there need people there, or there wouldn't be classes. Plus taking a course in a familiar field of study, or a new one, can help people move forward too.

📎 So GOOD to hear from you dear Jonibee @jonibee !!! 💃💃💃

Found out TODAY I have pre-diabetes and need to exercise and do a Mediterrean diet. 🙄🙄🙄

So between GRIEVING - slum landlord, I need to figure out WHERE to move to. This move will help me with my grieving, depression and anger. Thanks for asking dear friend.

Luv you VERY MUCH,

Nicole 🤗🤗🤗

📎 Okay guys, I MISS YOU ALL!!!

Since we are NO longer allowed to continue with Our Daily Chat Thread here in the Grief Forum - AARP had suggested STARTING one in their Friends & Family Forum.

Lol, I had told them NO ONE posts there anymore and forum has died over the years. 🙄🙄🙄

But, how about we give it a try???

Any takers???

I am heading out to library down my hill to hopefully hand wash my car in PEACE. Yes, need me some of that. Here at apartment way too many folks want to borrow my ears. NOT TODAY.

I am heading to PM the Grief Team (well, before we disbanded last month due to new rules).

I can set up a NEW THREAD there for us to CONTINUE to nurture each other on Our Healing Journeys!!! 💃💃💃

Luv you ALL my friends,

Nicole 🤗🤗🤗

@SummerOnTheWay1

I am sure that you will make a success of it with your dedication and spirit.

You mentioned a couple of words in a post not too long ago concerning going to the Friends and Family board with this sort of discussion. I thought these two word captured exactly what you and others here are trying to accomplish - the words were “MOVING FORWARD”, I believe, and it is an important aspect of life after loss - a more long term quest whether emotional, mentally, physically, logistically or just those everyday decisions that have to be made.

Think you said it well here on 08/29/2024 (7:42 pm)

Hello Nicole,

Went to the funeral home to sign creation papers. Trying to sort thru all the financial things and try not to worry.

Thank you for your group, I sincerely appreciate you.

Suzanne @SuzanneS949035 you have one thing marked off of your list of things to take care of. It can be overwhelming so prioritize the items and work your way through them at a pace you can handle. Some things can't be done until you have death certificates so those will have to wait. Hopefully your funeral director gave you a list to follow and you will feel your burden lighten as you check them off as being done.

You will get through this.

Marcy
