Handle with Care

For the past several years, I’ve spent the majority of my time writing books – like Grief Survivor~ 28 Steps Toward Hope and Healing; and speaking at events to help other people who have loved and lost. It’s a whole ‘nutha level of grief when it’s one of your own people!

Some of the tips I love to share are:

* it’s OK to cry; and it’s also OK to laugh,

* surrounding yourself with people who make you smile is good medicine,

* praying with thanksgiving, rather than worrying- can fill your heart with peace; and is better than Ambien on a sleepless night. (credit: Philippians 4:6)

* say yes to friends who want to reach out to you.

* there’s no time frame for grief; and that closure is for bank accounts. Not love accounts.

*** doing something kind for yourself every day is an excellent idea.

Today in the grocery store these beautiful flowers were the best $4.49 I spent~ and a sweet reminder of one unforgettable sister-in-law. Thanks for the flowers, Kay!

Have you done something kind for yourself today? It’s not too late!
