Be or do the things you loved most about those who are gone.
- Did they enjoy movies? Find a friend or family member to watch a movie with you.
- Did they enjoy a weekly stop for ice cream? Go there.
- Did they enjoy walking and exercise? Take a walk.
- Did they enjoy church? Don’t stop going even if you sit alone.
An anonymous quote:
“You don’t heal to be able to handle grief, pain, anxiety or depression. You are healed to be able to handle joy to accept happiness back into your life.”
Reaching a point of acceptance is key to healing and experiencing joy once again.
