๐Ÿ‘  REMEMBER - on those days/nights when YOU wonder WHY you are still here??? YOU are still here for the folks who CARE ABOUT YOU!!! So get out of bed EVERY DAY, hug them, tell them you CARE. This way when YOU ARE GONE, mixed in with THEIR GRIEVING will be GOOD MEMORIES. Parents (I am one) OUR KIDS (even adults) need their ONE PARENT - you. I am LIVING FOR MY ONLY CHILD - A DAUGHTER.

Deep grief sometimes is almost like a specific location, a coordinate on a map of time. When you are standing in that forest of sorrow, you cannot imagine that you could ever find your way to a better place. But if someone can assure you that they themselves have stood in that same place, and now have moved on, sometimes this will bring hope.

"In this sad world of ours, sorrow comes to all. Perfect relief is not possible, except with time. You cannot now realize that you will ever feel better.

 

And yet it is a mistake. You are sure to be happy again. To know this, which is certainly true, will make you some less miserable now. I have had experience enough to know what I say, and you need only to believe it to feel better at once.โ€

HAPPY Friday Everyone!!!  ๐Ÿค—๐Ÿค—๐Ÿค—

 

Sometimes just getting up out of bed EACH morning and opening up a window REMINDS US to look outside of ourselves. Sometimes we allow our 4 walls to become a prison. Step out, check out what is out there. Hey, life has PLANS to HELP us with OUR HEALING if we take that 1 step I promise.

HAPPY Wednesday Everyone!!!  ๐Ÿค—๐Ÿค—๐Ÿค—

 

Some days and nights it seems OUR "sadness" is overwhelming. This is all part of OUR HEALING JOURNEY. With time WE will still "miss" them, but will "smile" more when we THINK of them. Parents (and I am one), OUR kids (even the adults) NEED us to stick around. So please make those MEDICAL APPOINTMENTS, eat healthy, exercise and sleep when you can.

HAPPY Friday Everyone!!!  ๐Ÿค—๐Ÿค—๐Ÿค—

 

The weekend is here and for some of us with it challenges. Yes, it can be hard seeing and hearing neighbors spending time with luv ones while we are MISSING OURS.

 

In my very humble opinion maybe VOLUNTEERING helps with the sadness.
