How To Get Through The Holidays

[MartyT]

Dear Ones,

This simple yet profound message appears today on the Facebook page of Ashley Davis Bush, author of the wonderful book, Transcending Loss: Understanding the Lifelong Impact of Grief and How to Make It Meaningful. I think it's important enough to be shared here, too:

You may be wondering how you are ever going to get through this month.

You're going to get through it one day at a time . . .

sometimes one hour at a time and even one minute at a time.

You're going to reach out to people who understand and care.

You're going to breathe deeply.

You're going to hold onto love while letting yourself cry.

And then, it will be January and you will have gotten through this month.

Thanks for this
