Help Yourself


"Help Yourself First"

Every time you step on a plane the flight crew reminds you to put your own oxygen mask on before helping others. Grief survival is a lot like in-flight safety. The only way to stay strong and emotionally available for the people in your life is to take care of yourself first. 

Rest is not a four-letter word. Technically it is, but not the bad kind. Rest doesn’t have to mean doing nothing. During this challenging season some creative ways for you to refresh might be:

● watching a funny movie or play,
● going to a favorite lake, to the beach or to the mountains,
● painting, singing or drawing,
● taking a break from 24-hour news channels,
● meeting a friend for coffee or dinner.
Even if you don’t have a cruise on the calendar this month, consider doing something kind for yourself every day.

Dating.

“Single are you ready to mingle” Being a widow has been the most hardest journey I’ve ever in encounter in my life. It has been also a blessing that Our Heavenly Father is able to heal me and to give me the strength to continue this journey without my wonderful, increditable, loving, handsome husband. God is Good!!!!  But I wanted to talk about this topic “DATING”. There are a lot of you writing to me about this topic.  It’s been 2 years and 3 months since  my husband Age has passed away.

But at this moment in my life,  I’m happy trying to fix me and fix my eyes onto God.  People ask me all the time, “When will I be ready to date?” My answer a...

New To Widowhood

One year into widowhood. First year of being a widow was hell!  When Age passed away I continued to stay with Age’s family. I didn’t want to leave Melbourne yet. I was trying to figure out what the hell was happening with my life.  So I pretended like everything was normal, I continue to carry on with life as if Age was alive; I went to work, pay bills, attended church and the list goes on.  But I started to noticed that things weren’t the same. The more I noticed the more I became depressed. My Home environment changed - there are certain things happened at my Melbourne home around me and towards me that we’re pretty bad. If my husband was alive things would have been handle differently or it wouldn’t happen at all.  My Health - I was gaining huge amount of weight, I was diagnosed with type 2 Diabetes, there were days I could walk because of my back. I did all this not realising I was hurting myself.  My Finances - I was down on o...

Take Heart

"Am I OK?" Have you ever walked into a room and turned around because you have no idea why you’re there? Grief can do that to you. Unfamiliar emotions can make you think you’re losing your mind and can make important decisions seem close to impossible. If you’re experiencing mental fogginess, take heart. The clouds will lift.  Grief-related sleeplessness, appetite changes, mood swings and mental cloudiness will diminish and eventually subside over time. The good news is, you are not going crazy.  Miss.Age❤️
