Supporting Yourself

The anticipation of the holidays when one is grieving can be so challenge. Join us for our Grief & the Holidays: an evening of support on Wed, Nov. 17 at 7:00 PM. RSVP to Becky at 801.259.3883 or email: becky.lpc@gmail.com

Article from Bereavement Publishing, Inc. 1-888-604-4673, by Joanetta Hendel. Awesome Resource.

-Refrain from projected suffering, anticipated heartache, or manufactured anguish. Now is theonly eternity there is --and the only reality. Let the road rise to meet you, rather than jumping ahead to agonize over projected illusions of doom and despair.

--Consider allowing this holiday season to become a meditation on life rather than a distraction from it. Trust the mind and psyche to guide you in the direction you need to go. Embrace this moment and give it expression. Make peace with your place in the universe. Feel the feelings that are present now -- solve today's problems, receive today's gifts.

More in tomorrow's posts. What have you done to support yourself through the holidays?
