Welcome to episode 98! We are still in our Grief, Healing & Holidays Series! Today I posed the question, "Did I defeat grief?"

Let's talk about it!

Ice Breaker: Healing Grief Card Deck by David Kesler:

Understanding Grief: You can’t think your way out of grief. Be present for it. You can handle it.

Topic: Did I defeat grief?

1. I lost my mom’s coat and bible
2. Prayed about it
3. Bought a new one
4. Realizing that a lot of the time we are missing the physical thing. These materials things represent a physical moment.
5. Another outlook on life, we can recreate the moments. Just like people recreate their baby pictures. We can recreate the memories with our loved one.
6. Being okay with this hurt me, so what can I do, if anything.

Affirmation: In my sadness I love myself.
