DECEMBER

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!

  1. 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.

  2. I 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?
