I’ll be going live quite a bit this week so please check in for times!!!! Happy Sunday! How’s your grief today?

Today I went to Lowe’s and spent over $200 on plants and flowers for the backyard. The whole way there I was remembering how my wife, Kim, always said that I shouldn’t be allowed to go to any home improvement store unsupervised. On the way home, after the purchase I kept saying it was her fault I spent so much because she left me alone and unsupervised. I worked in the yard all day. Sure beats sobbing in the fetal position that I have been doing the rest of this week.

Hi Andrea. Sorry. I hope I didn't seem to leave the chat abruptly today. My phone is playing up and doesn't seem to want to hold a charge. Thankyou for the live chat today. ❤️

1. Let yourself feel it without trying to fix it.Nighttime is when everything gets quiet, and all the feelings you pushed away during the day show up. You don’t always need to solve it. Sometimes you just need to sit there and admit… this hurts, I miss them, and tonight feels heavy. 2. Put something on in the background.Silence can make grief louder. A TV show, music, a podcast, even noise in another room can help your nervous system settle. It doesn’t mean you’re avoiding your grief. It just means you’re giving your mind a break. 3. Reach for connection, even if it’s small.Text someone. Go into an online group. Read something that reminds you you’re not the only person in the world feeling this way. Loneliness in grief isn’t just about missing them… it’s about feeling like no one understands. Connection helps with that. Nights can feel like the hardest part of grief. Not because you’re weak… but because there’s nothing left to distract you from what your heart knows is missing.

What would YOU add…
