If Today is Hard...


If today is a hard day, let it be a gentle hard day. - Mary Davis


Some days are just extra hard and heartbreaking when you are grieving. When you are in the midst of such days, relief can seem far away. For today, if you are having a hard day, be gentle with yourself. Find a way to slow down and do something that you enjoy. Relax outside and listen to the birds sing. Go for a slow walk or simply sit and listen to music that soothes you. The world around you doesn't stop for your grief so you must. You may be busy at work or have too many household chores, but you are allowed to grieve even if a significant amount of time has passed.  Grief will hijack your heart at the worst moments. If only for ten minutes, do something to soothe your soul.
