When it comes to you going through stuff, remember you don’t have to get rid of everything. You can repurpose things, like turning shirts into quilts.
Don’t forget to take care of yourself. If you’re not in the right place, your kids won’t be either.
Putting up a strong front is important, but it’s also important to let the kids see you cry.
When dealing with grief with children, have a check-in once or twice a week to make sure they’re ok.
There’s no right time to take off your ring. Lisette continued to wear her wedding ring for 5 years.
Hobbies can be your time to rest from grief. Hobbies allow you that mind escape that you need.
There will be so many things you never knew you could do!
You got this! You have the power within you get through anything!
