Throwing yourself into grief helps aleviate grief in the long run. I know this to be true.

When I’m on a flight I often think that all the problems are underneath me. #WednesdayMotivation

Full moon today. Full moons are a good time to honor our loved ones who have passed.

When I was newly bereaved I was shocked at how others avoided the topic. All I wanted to do was talk about my late husband but most avoided like the plague. Once I met another griever I immediately found my tribe. #MondayMotivation

Happy Sunday. Get outside today if you can. You’ll feel good for doing so. #SundayMorning

Sundays were always a day my late husband and I spent together, no matter what. Since widowed I’ve had to rebuild and find new ways to spend weekends with keeping some cherished traditions alive. #SundayMotivation

I’ve found that if I sit quietly and think of specific memories of my loved ones who have passed it feels like I’m back in those moments. It’s a clear energy shift. Give it a try and see if it works for you. #FlashbackFriday

The best advice I was given when I was newly widowed was to just be gentle with myself. I share this simple truth as often as possible.

Happy Father’s Day! I will honor my father and late husband today. Both were wonderful fathers and very much alike!

Sometimes it’s best to open the window and let your worries blow away. This helped me when I was in the throes of grief.

Grief may always be with us just like our love for them never fades but I’ve found that over time, the harshness lessens. #Sundaymorning

Sorry this is happening to you. Studies show that keeping our late loved ones in our thoughts helps with grief. Most non bereaved think the opposite is true.

A very close relative told me I should stop living in the past today. Because I'm gutted my husband isn't alive for his birthday! It really hurt. Im trying my best, im making progress. But today was hard. Hes only been gone for 11months! I needed support. Not judgement #Grief

If you could one day back with a loved one who has passed what would that day look like?

I’ve found that over time grief changes and the happy memories stay while the bad ones fade.

When I moved across the country I wasn’t sure how that would be leaving the home where my late husband & I shared a life. So, I packed up my memories and took them with me. #mondaythoghts

When I was newly widowed someone suggested I give back. At the time I didn’t feel I was grateful for anything since my husband died suddenly. Then one day I started volunteering and found I got back way more than what I gave and have never stopped. #SundayBest

If you’re in the throes of grief, hope is on the way. I know this to be true. #SaturdayMotivation

I was thinking the other day how I wanted my late husband, Glenn back. Two minutes later I got an advertising email entitled, “Glenn we want you back.” You can’t make this stuff up! #FridayMotivation
