โ€Œโ€Œโ€Œโ€Œ๐Ÿ’กโ€Œโ€Œโ€Œโ€Œ  A Suggestion!!!

 

Need a vacation from YOUR THOUGHTS?

 

Listen to another griever during a visit to see them OR call/text/email them "asking" them IF they need anything.

 

This works for me.  โ€Œโ€Œโ€Œโ€Œ๐Ÿ’›โ€Œโ€Œโ€Œโ€Œ

๐Ÿ‘ฅ  It is OKAY to "hide" on those days/nights when YOU FEEL unable to deal with people.

 

With time YOU WILL be able to get out, spend time with family/friends.

 

Just let THEM KNOW and those who REALLY CARE will "respect" this much needed "time away" = they will still REACH OUT, but with NO pressure to see them (or talk to them).

 

I luv those THINKING ABOUT YOU texts from caring folks in my life.  ๐Ÿ’›

BE GOOD to yourself!!!

 

Sometimes losing a loved one means LESS to pay the bills.  โ˜น

 

But finding ways to FILL UP will keep us BALANCED (emotionally, spiritually, mentally).

 

Suggestion: So many FREE WAYS to do this. Just find WHAT fills YOU up. Me, bingeing on Agatha Christie Audiobooks (free on YouTube). Also helps me to catch a few zzz's on those nights I CANNOT SLEEP. My sleepaid.  ๐Ÿ‘

โ€Œโ€Œโ€Œ๐Ÿ’กโ€Œโ€Œโ€Œ  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.  โ€Œโ€Œโ€Œ๐Ÿ’›โ€Œโ€Œโ€Œ

๐Ÿ˜ด  NOT Sleeping At Nights?

 

Try to "nap" during the day.

 

Why?

 

Even a FEW MINUTES of "shut eye" will help with your sadness.  ๐Ÿ’›

Feeling sad, stick your head OUTSIDE & breathe in NATURE. Then BELIEVE today will be FULL of possibilities of hope, peace & luv.

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.

 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.

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. ๐Ÿ˜ญ

 

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. ๐Ÿ’›

 

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

 

As usual, I am here for you.

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!!! ๐Ÿ˜ญ

 

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. ๐Ÿ’›๐Ÿค—

 

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 ๐Ÿˆ, a stray I "inherited" last year May 2024. A luvable fellow. ๐Ÿ’›

 

I am ALWAYS here IF you need me.

 

SO GLAD you stopped by.
