โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ๐กโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ 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. โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ๐โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ
Luv,

โโโโโโโโโโโ๐กโโโโโโโโโโ A Suggestion!!!
NOT Sleeping At Nights?
Try to "nap" during the day.
Why?
Even a FEW MINUTES of "shut eye" will help with YOUR sadness. โโโโโโโโโโโ๐โโโโโโโโโโโ
Luv,
Nicole โโโโโโ๐คโโโโโโโโโโโโ๐คโโโโโโโโโโโโ๐คโโโโโโ (Grief Forum)

โโโโโโโ๐กโโโโโโโ A Suggestion!!!
Explore YOUR area to find spots that may bring you COMFORT.
Some of us DREAD the old familiar hangouts we had with our luv ones.
Maybe one day WE will be able to visit them WITHOUT tears. But until then, EACH day maybe "act" like a TOURIST.
SO MANY possibilities out there.
SO MANY new friends to meet.
You got this!!! โโโโโโโ๐โโโโโโ
Luv,
Nicole โโโโโ๐คโโโโโโโโโโ๐คโโโโโโโโโโ๐คโโโโโ (Grief Forum)โ

โโโโโโโโโโโโโ๐กโโโโโโโโโโโโโ 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. โโโโโโโโโโโโโ๐โโโโโโโโโโโโโ

A place to share and support EACH OTHER with comments [pictures too]. โโโโโโโโโโโ๐คโโโโโโโโโโโ
What is going on in YOUR LIFE? โโโโโโโโโโโโ๐คโโโโโโโโโโโโ
WE share OUR JOURNEY while grieving & after grieving. Some of us are still grieving AFTER losing our luv one(s) YEARS AGO. Grief has NO schedule & TOGETHER we will make it. โโโโโโโโโโโโ๐โโโโโโโโโโโโ
Some days we have a "chuckle" at what a member posts.
Some days "tears" are in our eyes.
Other days we are doing a HAPPY DANCE WITH THEM as they get STRONGER on their journey.
YOU got this. โโโโโโโโโโโโ๐โโโโโโโโโโโโ

JULY 4TH!!!
HOLIDAYS can be a "challenge" for some of us as we watch others celebrating & having fun.
It is OKAY TO SIT THIS ONE OUT dear friends.
Celebrate or NOT to celebrate is OUR DECISION = the folks who "really care" will UNDERSTAND.
I will be here on that day IF anyone needs me. Lol, I luv to "chat" & have "huge" ears.
Luv,
Nicole โ๐คโโ๐คโโ๐คโ (Grief Forum)

โโโโโโ๐ฃโโโโโโ GROUP DISCUSSION!!!
What is "helping" YOU on YOUR journey?
Some may say their faith.
Others may say family & friends.
Or something else.

โโโโโ๐กโโโโโ Some of us stayed put, while others either "downsized" or "relocated" to another state. Sharing OUR JOURNEYS while figuring out a NEW LIFE has been BOTH a "comfort & inspiration" to us all!!!
Stop by when you can to tell us about YOUR JOURNEY.
Sharing helps us & folks stopping by.
Why? โโโโโ๐คโโโโโ
KNOWING someone else "picked up" the pieces of THEIR LIVES lets us know WE CAN TOO.

BE GOOD to yourself!!!
Sometimes losing a loved one means LESS to pay the bills. โน
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. โ๐โ
Question: What self care are you doing? ๐ค

And all kinds of other things too if we are mindful and look for them. I have been bombarded recently with angel numbers and find them very comforting.
Grief is a long difficult journey and finding any kind of bright spots along the way certainly helps. ๐๐ทโญ๏ธ๐

Dear sweet and strong Cadee @Cadee2719 thank you SO MUCH for your PM.
I am letting EVERYONE know while you are MIA at the moment, you did let me know you are still alive.
Hang in there my friend and know that we ALL admire your strength in spite of losing your hubbie, brother and son within a few months of each other.
I am looking forward to your NEXT visit when you feel up to it.
Luv and ADMIRE you my friend.

Weekends can be tough. What do you have planned that may be a positive distraction? For me it's making a spiritual connection, volunteering, and participating in a bowling fundraiser. Whatever your plans, I hope they provide some grief relief and maybe even bring some joy to your heart.

SO GOOD to hear from you dear Marcy @MarcyW882921 !!! ๐๐๐
Well Mr. ๐ has provided a much needed relief from my GRIEVING and SO GRATEFUL.
Glad to hear you have a POSITIVE WEEKEND planned Bionic Marcy aka Ms. Chorus aka Ms. Zumba aka Ms. Tennis and Ms. Volunteer.
I am hoping Ms. Idaho aka Ms. Gourmet cook aka Cadee @Cadee2719 stops by to say hello. Lol, one BUSY lady these days and SO HAPPY her son moved when she did. NEW BEGINNINGS FOR THEM BOTH. As she said, she still has her MOMENTS like we all do. Losing her hubbie, son and brother within MONTHS OF EACH OTHER but ALWAYS gives us all luv and encouragement.
Luv you SO MUCH,
Nicole ๐ค๐ค๐ค

I'm so glad Nicole @SpringIsHereVA that Mr. Cat has been helpful in relieving some of your grief. There is research to show many human conditions benefit from people interactioning with animals.
