#Repost from @spiritguidesmag : ✨✨Unhappy Holidays: A spiritual resource guide for the bereaved✨✨ With the holidays in plain view, many grievers are gearing up for the absolute worst time of their year—cold months where seemingly everyone around them is in warm, good cheer, as perhaps they themselves used to be during this season, yet they can no longer relate. Feeling quite opposite of cheery, they feel the despair of feeling somehow misplaced. Misunderstood. Missing. . “I miss you and I always will”—the griever’s holiday mantra. . Holiday grief (like grief in general) is a thing that needs more attention—we need to do a better job of taking care of our bereaved, especially this time of year. . If you are in the depths of grief this year, please honor your feelings and take care of you this holiday season. Be gentle toward yourself. All your feelings are valid. This fucking sucks. You are not alone. . With every bone in my body, I believe that while there are a million different faces for grief, there is only one cure. And that is connection to Spirit. How are you connecting? . Please enjoy the free grief resource guide that I put together (link in bio) this year, which I hope will inspire strengthening your connection to Spirit in any way that calls out to your heart. . I see you. I feel you. I am you. . And, sincerely, I love you. .

Water Bugs and Dragonflies is a simple yet profound book by Doris Stickney that explains #death to young kids. Even as an adult reader we found it incredibly helpful. This book can be read in full online through a simple google search, or purchase a copy to own. It can be an invaluable resource for #rainbowbaby families, those experiencing the death of a #parent, #grandparent, #neighbour, #friend, etc. .. #griefresources #kidscantwait #explainingdeathtokids #dorisstickney #waterbugsanddragonflies #bereavement
