The grief journey is predictable although not an exact science. I feel like I have emotional ADD with crazy swings of feelings. It will be seven months tomorrow.
In yesterday's mail our local hospice sent me a very personal note and a worksheet for me to complete on "what to do if I start feeling blue". So I can tape it inside the pantry in case of emergency it will be there in black and white.
Some of the info for me to complete: Top three people I like to talk to (with space for their phone number). What kind of physical thing would be quick and easy and fun to do on a moment's notice (swim). What's your happy song? Where can you go to bring some joy back in? A great idea, all in all!
I'm going to do my homework .... just in case!
Wow, that's a great idea for a tool for widows. When you're 'down' you can't think straight so it's good thing to have your 'homework' done and ready if and when you need it.
ReplyDeleteHi Jean ~ You are absolutely right about that! We just need a little reminder.
DeleteI think that's a great tool for EVERYbody! I'd like a copy of that--even though I'm not a widow, I suffer from the blues more than I'd like to admit... :) Can you hook me up?
ReplyDeleteHi Leslie ~ It's in your email! We are so good for each other. You share your helpful hints and I share mine. Together we will live fulfilling lives!
