(2 comments) ๐Ÿงฒ LAW OF ATTRACTION WHILE GRIEVING: One day at a time. One thought at a time. Last year I lost both my parents within 4 months of each other. As I allowed my thoughts to get away from me, I could see all the negative come crashing around me. I was dropping things, breaking things, everything in my personal life started falling apart. I wound up stranded at an airport 200 miles away from where I needed to be (my father's funeral) but once I took notice and became aware, I stopped and said okay, I know what I need. I need to clear my energy, clear my negative vibes. What always works for me is the ocean. I knew I needed it to help me balance my thoughts and center myself. We cannot control what happens to others around us, but we can control our own thoughts and feelings. The ocean helped me to do that. It's always been my heaven. Of course it doesn't help me from not being sad that they are gone, but it does help me to bring better feeling thoughts which in turn brings better, more positive happy situations into my life. It's okay to feel happy even though you are sad at the situation. Anonymous

I think it was in one of Stephen Covey's books that I read about looking at the word responsible. He broke it down into a person being "response able" and it is what the anonymous person is describing. The human ability to look at and assess situations, thoughts, and feelings and choose how we respond to them.

I am doing as well as can be expected...I'm trying to adjust into living in the "Now time" which has its ups and downs ..getting use to the me in making decisions and little changes that come along when one loses that special person..The holidays are the hardest it's like being in a crowded room and still feeling lonely even though our children are here to celebrate a void that can't be filled is there. Hopefully as time goes on I'll be able to adjust to the now...

Tennis and water aerobics this morning for me. Getting through Email this afternoon and tonight I get my music fix at chorus rehearsal.

 

I'm glad you had a safe trip to Walmart and hopefully you will have a restful nap!

This is from an article about actress Amanda

Kloots losing her husband Nick Cordero in 2020

to Covid complications. I found it helpful in

explaining my ongoing grief and wanted to

share it here.

 

โ€When your person dies, a lot of people will

say โ€œDonโ€™t worry, in a year youโ€™re going to

be so much betterโ€ And you are, in a way.

But I wish somebody would say โ€œDonโ€™t 

worry. Grief never ends, and itโ€™s okayโ€ she

said. โ€œIt will always make you cry, because

that person will always hold a special place

in your heart. Itโ€™s not going to go anywhere.

You just learn how to grow around that griefโ€

I read an article recently about grief that goes hand in hand with this quote. The grief remains constant and we are the ones who grow around it.

I know what that's like Nicole. Where I live I have to take the trash to the dumpster too.  I try to do that every couple days. Yesterday I realized I forgot the trash in the trunk of my car for a couple days. Well, it didn't smell too bad. ๐Ÿ˜‚ But it is a pain.

I've been quite busy lately so a lazy day doesn't sound too bad! I hope you got some needed rest and maybe tomorrow you will be up for taking the trash to the dumpster.
