Hello Beautiful Person! Welcome back to healing your grief two minutes at a time. This week is project based. Now if you are newly grieving, and have just recently lost a loved one, this might be a healthy seed to plant and stuff to start to think about. If you have been on your grief journey for awhile, this may be the perfect project for you to start to help yourself feel empowered and a little bit more in control of some of the circumstances in your life.
We are going to make a list of all the things your loved one did for you. Not so much as a gratitude list but more as a to-do list. List the things that they used to do for you. So if it was that they hosted Sunday night dinner or they sewed the costumes for your children for their school plays, whatever those tasks were. I want you to put together a list of tasks that they did. Once you have that list together, I want you to think about the people in your life, whether it is friends, or family, or church community but different people that might be willing to take on just one of those tasks. When we are grieving, part of what is so hard, is that we have these daily reminders of the things that our loved ones used to do for us that are no longer here to play that role for us. One person certainly can’t do that whole to do list but piece by piece, we are able to break apart that list and ask people to honor our loved one in a way by taking on this one specific job.
This is going to be a huge, growing experience for you and it is going to help you enormously. I know being able to ask those people to do things for me was healing for both of us because they loved honoring my loved ones and I needed someone to fill that role for me. Be kind and be good to yourself this week. This is not an easy task or project but it is going to be so helpful, so growing and so good.
I cannot wait to hear in the c0mments down below how this was for you. Please subscribe to my channel and I wish for you a wonderful week. Take Care.
