a widows pursuit

It’s that time of year when many people are working on their New Year’s Resolutions. Perhaps you barely made it through the holidays and grief has worn you down. Very often, when people are grieving, it takes every bit of energy just to make it through a day, let alone a year!

With January in full swing, you may be wondering, “What now?” I’ve been there and I know how it feels. So I’ve come up with my Top 5 Resolutions that might be considered if you’re still grieving:

1. Spiritual Health: Pray, Worship and/or join a Bible Study
2. Physical Health: Exercise (Run, Walk and/or join a Gym)
3. Healthy Eating: Low sugar, little alcohol and more Fruits / Veggies
4. Rest: 6 to 8 hours of sleep every night & naps when needed
5. Support groups: Retreat or Grief Support Group such as Griefshare (www.griefshare.org) Plug in your zip code and you can find the closest groups in your area

Consider these resolutions to help you work through your grief in a healthy way!
