Walking Through the Holidays with Joy - Nov 29 DESCRIPTION:Explore a plethora of suggestions & practices to find a balance between honoring your loss & taking care of yourself during the holidays.\n\n\n\nWith the holiday season approaching\, we are constantly bombarded by images of happy families together sharing the joy of the season. If you are a griever\, however\, this may not be the picture that you can imagine at this point. Holidays\, birthdays\, or other days that were a special part of your family traditions trigger painful feelings of loss and grief. While there are other critical dates and times that affect grieving people\, the holiday season is the biggest stimulus to provoke memories and feelings about important people in our lives who have died or who are no longer present at our holiday celebrations and rituals because of death\, divorce or other estrangements. \nPeople ask\, “so\, what do you want for Christmas?” The real answer is\, \n\nI want my loved one back. \nI want my spouse back and family together.\nI want my job and income.\nI want to be healthy again.\n\nFor some people\, anticipating\, and perhaps even dreading\, the upcoming occasion is worse than the actual day. Fearing that you may react badly\, or ruin the holiday for others\, can lead to feelings of grief and anxiety. There are several ways to approach these special days. \nExplore a plethera of suggestions & practices to find a balance between honoring your loss & taking care of yourself during the holidays. Then you can be honest with yourself and others. \nIf your friends and family try to change old traditions\, such as where the holiday dinner will take place\, and that is one tradition you do not wish to be different\, let them know. While they might think this change will make things”easier on you\,” if that is not the case\, you need to tell them the truth. In all likelihood\, they may be grieving as well. If you take the lead and are honest about how you feel\, it will make it safe for them to be honest as well. \nThere is no right or wrong way to get through holidays and other special occasions. It helps to make everything you do a loving tribute to your loved one\, while at the same time taking care of yourself. Keep or amend the traditions that they particularly loved so that you can still enjoy the occasion. \n\n\n\nThere are no rules for surviving holiday grief.\nDo what you need to do to survive.\nHonor your loved one how you need to\, and do what feels best for your fragile\, aching heart. \nYou are missing a huge piece of you\, so do whatever you need to do to find a sliver of peace.\n— Angela Miller URL:https://walkingwithjoy.com/event/loss-and-grief-walking-through-the-holidays-with-joy-nov-29/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20201128T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20201128T130000 DTSTAMP:20201129T003153Z CREATED:20201127T004706Z LAST-MODIFIED:20201129T003153Z UID:2274-1606564800-1606568400@walkingwithjoy.com SUMMARY:Loss and Grief....

Yes. There’s nothing wrong with grieving\, but you don’t have to live the rest of your life in pain. \nIs the quality of your life what you want it to be? \n\nIMAGINE thinking about someone who died\, or an ex\, without feeling broken hearted.\nIMAGINE not having resentments or regrets about a lost job\, a health diagnosis\, financial struggle or broken relationship.\n\nImagine living and loving to the fullest. \nWhat would that be like for you? \nUnresolved grief is cumulative and cumulatively negative. It affects current and future relationships. Have you ever protected your heart from being hurt again after a significant emotional loss such as death\, divorce\, or loss of \n\nHealth\nJob\nFinances\nA Move\nRetirement\nOr any lifestyle change\n\nGrief is normal and natural and takes time to process. But you don’t have to get STUCK in the pain. \nPLUS: HELPING CHILDREN WITH LOSS. \nLearn how to equip your children to process losses like a death of a grandparent\, divorce\, school changes\, loss of a pet\, bullying\, and other disappointments in life like not making a team or getting into the college they want. \nSigns of Unresolved Grief\nUnresolved grief can be caused by pretty much anything big or small.Although many of sufferers try to pretend that they are “over it” for various reasons\, the following are some of the tell-tale signs that someone is grieving: \n\nPreoccupation with sad or painful memories\nRefusal to talk about the loss at all \nIncrease in alcohol\, food\, drug\, or cigarette usage.\nAntisocial behavior\nOverindulge in hobbies\, work\, or exercise activities\nLack of energy\nDifficulty concentrating\nIsolation from friends and family\n\n If something\, someone\, or an event was important to you\, and a change in that relationship has affected your emotions negatively\, there is a way by which you may recover. If you suspect that you or someone you love is experiencing unresolved grief\, attend this Introduction to The Loss & Grief Recovery Method® to find your way out of the maze of life’s struggles. \nThe Grief Recovery Method® will help you navigate the unexpected twists and turns of life so you can move beyond the “stuckness.” \nTransform the pain and discover a sense of wellbeing and a life filled with purpose and joy!\n\n\nINTRO to Loss and Grief Recovery with Help Children with Loss\nTime: Oct 25\, 2020 06:00 PM Eastern Time (US and Canada)\nJoin Zoom Meeting \nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/84861364281?pwd=a01SdDlKWU84MFVJdDRsSSs2L1BMdz09 \n \nMeeting ID: 848 6136 4281 \nPasscode: 742623 URL:https://walkingwithjoy.com/event/loss-and-grief-recovery-method-and-helping-children-with-loss-introductio/ ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://walkingwithjoy.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/ad54d0ec6f0bfe84b5a669452b65560b-2LbAwS.tmp_.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20201020T183000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20201020T193000 DTSTAMP:20201021T040458Z CREATED:20201017T010314Z LAST-MODIFIED:20201021T040458Z UID:2018-1603218600-1603222200@walkingwithjoy.com SUMMARY:Self Care for Serenity Tuesday Zoom Group DESCRIPTION:Treat yourself to something kind for you!
