Let’s put what’s on the original in this caption down below.

Summer reads don’t normally include grief books.

However, bibliotherapy allows you to dose yourself at a pace that is manageable.

A new grief support group is starting this summer. This one is for people in their 20's and 30's who have experienced the loss of their partner.

Losing a partner at this foundational period can create a profound sense of loneliness and isolation. There are few opportunities to find community and connection with peers who “get it.”

The Partner Loss group creates a platform for participants to receive validation, camaraderie, and support of their experience.

The group will meet one Monday per month from 6:45-7:30pm in Newton, MA.

Confirm interest to Ken at [email protected] for details.

Spring can stir up sorrow and hope at the same time.

Let it come gently.

Feel what you need to feel.

A strange, unwelcome, or even hurtful comment certainly doesn’t feel good. This is especially true when grieving or feeling vulnerable.

But many find a sense of comfort in remembering that how a person responds typically isn’t personal.

That doesn’t make it “ok”. But it might make it easier to understand.

The thinking here often comes from a well-meaning place to “think positive.”

But a griever doesn’t necessarily want to, or need to think positive.

They need a space where they can be vulnerable, honest, and not be judged for it.

We live in a society where in a click of a button, you can buy something and have it arrive on your doorstep the next day. In another click of a button, you can have a hot meal delivered within 20 minutes.

“Instant gratification” has never been easier to attain.

But not everything can be solved with money or technology.

Grief certainly can’t be. It’s also not a problem to be solved.

My encouragement is to work with the current conditions of the day, not yesterday’s weather or tomorrow’s forecast.

The last thing we need is to feel demoralized by our self-care or feel like we are failing self-care. Self-care is how we define it. What does it mean to you?

To some, it’s trips to the spa or vacations (I call this “macro” self care.)

It can also be a short walk, 5 minutes in the sun, or drinking a healthy smoothie (“micro” self care.)

What are you doing to counter-balance stressors, anxieties and tensions you feel?

Whether we think what we are doing is helpful for our healing or not we are right.

Through supporting grievers for over 25 years, I have seen the tendency for one to be hard on themselves for “still grieving” months or years later.

You might think, “When will I stop feeling sad?” Or, “Will I be able to move on?”

Can you find acceptance with the idea that the answer might be, “You won’t?”

How are you wiser due to the changes you’ve experienced this year?

What have you learned about yourself? Others? Life itself?

Does this reminder bring a sense of comfort? Tension? Curiosity?

Does it change the way you view the most recent change in your life?
