What creative ways do you cope with grief?
Loss & Grief | Last Active: 3 days ago | Replies (29)Comment receiving replies
Hello, I’m learning to grieve the loss of my mother because I don’t think I ever did. I stuffed those feelings down. Optimism is good and there is always something positive ahead just being able to get the positive out of every situation is amazing but why is good things always waiting why are they not happening daily for you? I can see having something to look forward to like a vacation or lunch with a friend etc but why just waiting to happen? I wake up daily and I’m blessed to have another day Amen. I try and find a positive in everything daily and it makes me happy but what is hard for me is the fact I cannot ever see my mom again and it breaks my heart. That’s the hard part no matter what lies ahead or is in each day. There is my struggle. My heart has a void that will never be filled and I don’t know how to cope with that even though I’m optimistic.

I just lost my husband and I still talk to him almost daily. I have his picture in my wallet, by my favorite chair, and in the bedroom. It helps me feel his presence wherever I’m am and then I can talk to him.
This helps me stay connected to our love for one another.

I know what you mean. It helps for each day to have goodness in it, and be able to find that. As a mom and grandma I feel strongly that my love will continue without me--inside my daughter and grand-daughter after I'm gone. I'm guessing your mom's love is inside you, and might show you some way to happiness. I hope so!
