Sharing Grief...

I try to find ways to help me cope with the loss of my Mum.  I do think being kind to yourself through this process is very important...and this saying has helped too:

Always have something to do...someone to love...and something to look forward to.

I once had a very close friend tell me this as well

"ACCENTUATE THE POSITIVE, NO MATTER HOW MINUTE"

This advice has helped me considerably as I have struggled with loss.

We were only a year and a half apart in age, and he was the closest person I've ever had.One thing I've been struggling with ever since is that I feel an overwhelming pressure to reply to texts and answer calls as soon as I can. If someone messages me and I don't respond right away, my mind starts thinking, "What if something happens to them before I reply?…See More
