Very smart to have a Google alert for your name set up. This angers me on your behalf, and especially because itās so hard (if not impossible) to get it taken down. Ugh.

Iāve been in a similar place in my #grief, too. Some days brushing our teeth is all we can do. When possible, some gentle stretches in the sun are helpful just for grounding ourselves. It doesnāt have to be intense - moving our bodies, with care for our tender hearts, is enough. š

#stretching counts. #taichi counts. #walking counts. (But if your #grief has some intensity behind it one day, a #run or #boxing class can feel good too.)

Following the guidance on the death cafĆ© site (deathcafe.com/how/) has worked well for me. No agenda, encourage all to listen without judgement. I have a āresource tableā for browsing info before and after.

Resisting the āfix-itā impulse is the right choice in so many situations, and YES it is a tough thing to do for those of us who have ābeing helpfulā baked in. š„°
