WE will always miss them but as WE MOVE FORWARD there will be less tears and more smiles when WE think of them.  ‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌💛‌‌‌‌‌

Our luv ones are with us ALWAYS while we TRY to move forward EVERY DAY & NIGHT!!!

WE try to pick up the pieces the best we can.

REMEMBER: Our luv ones are watching over us ALL THE TIME.  ‌‌‌‌‌💛‌‌‌‌‌

‌‌‌💡‌‌‌  A Suggestion!!!

For those of us who are parenting on OUR OWN, remember no matter how old our children are - THEY NEED US.

So take care of yourself (medical appointments, sleep, eat, hydrate and so on) FOR THEM.  ‌‌‌💛‌‌‌

[Spring2025]

😴  NOT Sleeping At Nights?

Try to "nap" during the day.

Why?

Even a FEW MINUTES of "shut eye" will help with your sadness.  💛

[Spring2025]

I'm so sorry for your loss!!!

Try to WELCOME EACH DAY for what it is.

I feel we will ALWAYS have days/nights of darkness BUT as the saying goes = we will survive and be stronger.

Thanks Nicole @Spring2025 ! I'm stopping by to say hi. I was busy with chorus activities the last few days. I have had visits in my dreams lately, and more angel numbers appearing. It is all good.

[Wednesday 2/26/25] SO GOOD to hear from you Bionic Marcy @MarcyW882921 !!! 🙃

Hmmm, sounds like your LUV ONES are reaching out to you - I luv this. 👍

Ironically I have also been having dreams that COMFORT ME (visits from luv ones). Yes, I now UNDERSTAND this and no longer get sad about them. 👍

Yesterday was one AWESOME Spring day after a Winter from Hell. GRATEFUL!!!

[2/21/25] Karla @KarlaH578935 , how are you doing?

Luv,

[KarlaH578935]

 I am doing okay right now.  Never quite sure what kind of day it is going to be.  Yesterday I felt drained and just wanted to sleep, but today I have more energy and I'm actually digging into the Psalms a little.  I had bible study and lunch with friends of Wednesday and felt good after.  Starting to notice  a bit of a pattern, in that, days after I have seen friends always seem to be a little harder.  I guess I need to find a balance between activity and quiet.

[2/21/25] SO GOOD to hear from you dear Karla @KarlaH578935  !!!

I feel we will ALWAYS have days/nights of darkness BUT as the saying goes = we will survive and be stronger.

SO PROUD OF YOU!!!

Why?

Because you are "stepping out there" and checking things out.

And try to be KIND TO YOURSELF.

Too many times we may feel guilty for having a GOOD MOMENT.

Good moments will come our way and this does NOT mean we have FORGOTTEN the ones we lost. 😭

Remember, they are ALWAYS WITH US and want us to "include" them in OUR NEW LIFE here on earth.

Our old group here (now all left) had been chatting about SIGNS from our luv ones. Maybe he has sent you some to let you know he SEES and LUVS you. 💛

Bottom line - EVERYONE's Healing Journey will be UNIQUE.

As usual, I am here for you.

Luv,

Nicole  🤗🤗🤗 (Grief Forum)

I lost my husband Jim on Feb. 2, 2024 after a three year battle with lung cancer.  I was offered help through grief therapy groups but I was not ready to talk to others about it.  I think I was worried about hearing so many sad stories .  I am thankful there is this forum for me because unfortunately the program I was offered after his death had a one year expiration date on it.  I don't understand that.  Everyone grieves differently and there shouldn't be a time line for when you need to be ready to seek out others.  I miss him and nights are still the hardest for me.  I have wonderful kids and grandkids that are there for me and a wonderful support system in friends and my church, but there are still times I feel so alone.

[2/12/25] Dear Karla @KarlaH578935 , I AM SO SORRY you lost Jim!!! 😭

I may be wrong, but I believe grief is a LIFETIME JOURNEY.

We try to pick up the pieces the best we can.

I have days/nights I just want to GIVE UP.

But I know my only child and my cat NEED AND LUV ME. 💛🤗

My daughter lives in Florida and one day I HOPE to return. We chat EVERY DAY, but it is NOT the same as being there with her.

MEANWHILE, I luv on Mister 🐈, a stray I "inherited" last year May 2024. A luvable fellow. 💛

I am ALWAYS here IF you need me.

SO GLAD you stopped by.

Luv,

Nicole  🤗🤗🤗 (Grief & Loss Forum)

Glad to discover this forum as I am almost only 3rd month since my oldest brother Bob 88,died September 15. I was numb for 2 months which surprised me as usually cried a lot in grief. As a priest I felt blessed to lead the celebration of his life at the funeral home. Grateful to his pastor for liturgy.And I did the service at the cemetery, with family we sang in holy circle send him off and again no tears. 
   I feel somewhat misplaced with my grief the funeral was 3 hrs from where I live and only one friend present. My brother was mentor, supportive and strong encourager . He too was a priest 38 yrs.

Dear @mr6784 , I am SO SORRY for your loss!!!

It's a good time of year not to take anything on, or lose ourselves in what could become exhausting. Being older prevents me from that lol. And of course it does nothing to alleviate the pain of loss. So what activities help everyone on the forum refresh our minds and keep our spirits calm? Watching movies is good. No heavy topics. I like Westerns. Why? The scenery is beautiful and calming. Comedies are good. Paul Blatt Mall Cop 2 has some very funny scenes. There are many interesting series too. Of course it takes time to be able to sit still. That is ok too. I hope everyone finds something to help them refresh minds and spirits.
