Recently, as I shared here, my mom — who passed away recently after a year-long battle with stage 4 lung cancer — taught me how to die with grace, dignity and joie de vivre.
Right now, to be honest with you, I’m not back to my usual effervescent self.
I’m realizing that I need time to heal.
So I’m exploring many ways to heal after my loss — and to do so with an open mind and self-compassion. For instance, I’m taking Zumba and Nia classes; crying when I need to; writing quite a bit; listening to soothing music; doing bereavement counseling; and exploring various healing modalities.
Today, after a challenging Thanksgiving weekend during which I really missed very much, I invite you to share your favorite tactics to heal after loss.
Please let me know what’s worked for you after you’ve lost a parent or other loved one or after you’ve suffered another loss. Also, please share your favorite books, too. I look forward to hearing your ideas.
By the way, I’m gearing up to help you sugar addicts next year. In honor of Cyber Monday, I’m offering a special rate at my upcoming Sugar Freedom Course, which begins Jan. 9. Get more info and sign up here now.
