Review Me

This project has been one more step in my journey through grief. I am grateful for the friends that have traveled with me and the lessons of love I am learning on the way.

Stages of Grief

This graph on the stages of grief is the most helpful I have ever come across. Someone shared it in a Facebook group, and I saved it. I do not know the original source. If anyone recognizes it and can cite the source, I would be grateful!

This graph is an incredibly helpful tool for anyone grappling with loss. It is vital to be able to identify each emotion as they come rushing in like a wave in order to know which coping skills on which to rely in any given moment or day.

I am grateful to have a new tool. I can use all the help I can get.

Merry & Bright

It’s important to remember that not everyone is experiencing holiday cheer at this time of the year. Seasonal depression, grief over lost loved ones, and loneliness are all exacerbated by the general expectation that everyone should just be happy during the holidays.

Amid all the hustle and bustle of the season, please make an extra effort to be kind to others. Money stresses, packed calendars, and gloomy weather can wear on everyone. Extend some grace to everyone you encounter today, and maybe we can all find some peace and light during this season of darkness.
