Naturally its been a week so I cannot recall what I was thankful for last week…so I hope they don’t overlap…my brain is mush anymore anyways, so I’ve learned to give myself a break. I learned you have to do that. Nobody is more critical of you, then you are of yourself. Myself included. We can be our own enemies if we let ourselves stay in the dark…
This week I am thankful for books.
I’ve been reading many facinating books on grief and loss of a child, and I’m learning to accept my feelings and emotions as normal. it helps me to not feel so alone. Some of my recent favs are Mary Beth Chapmans book “Choosing to SEE”, Angie Smith’s book “I will carry you”, “How to go on living when someone you love dies” by Theresa Rando PhD, “The Empty Chair” by Susan Zonnebelt-Smeenge, and “When Your Family’s Lost a Loved one” by Nancy Guthrie.
amazing books.
amazingly insightful.
I’ve gotta huge stack of books yet to read so I’m working my way thru them…
but alas today…I’m absolutely thankful for books on grief and loss of a child…
Love Love Love
Sarah, I just started reading Mary Beth Chapman's book this week, and I was going to email you to tell you about it. She's incredibly real and honest, which is refreshing to read.
