This year has flown by and as much as I’d love to just skip the holiday’s all together, I also know that isn’t realistic for my life and I’m sure it’s not realistic for many people. So here we are, faced with the holidays, carrying our grief and all that comes with it. I found this great to-do list from ‘rise with grief’ to possibly help us navigate this weird and confusing grief journey that we are on.
So, here we go!
Feel what you feel
Say no when you need to
Remember your loved one in your own way
Rest when you need to, it’s OK to step away
Be gentle with yourself
‘I know how hard this is. Everywhere you look, people are celebrating with their loved ones, filled with gratitude, while you’re left with a gaping hole in your soul. It is HARD to feel thankful when you feel empty.
Take it moment by moment and know that it’s OK to carry both love and loss at the same time. Be kind to yourself. You don’t have to do it all, just do the best you can.’
