A NEW AND MEANINGFUL LIFE

(203)

Continue to walk your healing path and see where it leads. Though the way is dark, stay on the path. Take one forward step today and another one tomorrow. Keep walking to the future.

(204)

The thought is as loud as a thunderclap: “I am my loved one’s legacy.” Think about what your legacy could be. What might it include? Choose a legacy that would make your loved one—and you—proud.

(205)

Grief makes you feel like life is out of control. If you think about it, however, you realize you still control some things. Brainstorm on the control you have. Take action to regain some control. You are in charge of you.

(206)

When you start to visualize the future, you are moving beyond survival mode. You survived the death of your loved one. Now it is time to thrive and kick up your heels. Continue to plan your future and add details. Your future is shaping up nicely.

(207)

You have been home so long you feel like you are living in a cocoon. Maybe it is time to venture out of the safety and security of your home. Peek outside and look around. Get outside today.

(208)

Log in to the internet. Choose a book you think a grieving friend might enjoy. Arrange for the book to be sent to them along with a note that reads, “Sending heartfelt condolences. This book comes with virtual hugs.”

(209)

Grief was part of your old life and will be part of your new life. Make peace with the fact that grief has no closure. Yet grief has made you a stronger person. Build on this strength.

(210)

You cannot remember your loved one’s face clearly. How upsetting! Do not despair. When this happens, study a photo of your loved one. See the love on their face and feel that love.

(211)

Believe in yourself and in tomorrow. Though you will have some missteps, you may correct them and learn from them. You can learn a lot from missteps. Happiness is just around the corner.

(212)

Be honest with your feelings. According to grief experts, grief needs to be witnessed so healing can take place. Family members and dear friends can be your witnesses. You may be your own witness too.

(213)

Start a one-word journal. Think of a word that describes your day and write it in a notepad. This word may be lost or improving or hopeful. Each word is a steppingstone to your new life.

(214)

Harrowing as it is, grief does not define you. Grief makes you a new, improved version of yourself. Make this vow: I choose to grow from grief. Take action on this vow.

(215)

Send email messages to the people who sent you cards. Two sentences will do it. Say you are grateful for the sender’s kindness. You may be so grateful you burst into tears.

(216)

Grief is a journey of self-discovery. Along the way you learn surprising things. You wish you could have learned these things differently, but that did not happen. Look grief in the face and hold your ground. Grief begone!

(217)

Alone times help you get to know yourself.
