For widows and widowers or family members that have lost a loved one, it is almost inevitable to have to deal with a will, an estate, a trust, the sale of a home or the distress of being left without funds, bankruptcy or being left without a place to live. On top of that, you are dealing with insurmountable grief. Reluctantly, I have gone through most of these scenarios. You can find yourself in crisis and shouldering responsibilities that frankly, can be too much to bare. Yet, you still have to show up to work or your business in the morning or wake -up and take care of your family, pets, bills, chores, house maintenance and car maintenance. In my past, I had to continue singing, acting , dancing, producing, directing and tour around the country with a smile on my face whether I wanted to or not. That’s when I’ve been reminded that I am not alone, as I mentioned in my previous post, “Priorities!” concerning my dream with Jesus in 1999.
“I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me” – Philippians 4:13 NKJV
Over the last 20 years, I went back to school to finish a Bachelor’s in Business Marketing. I have switched careers and enjoyed being a Sales and Marketing Director for a senior living facility, I have been a Life Enrichment Manager/Activities Director for a Memory Care Unit, Property and Casualty/Life Insurance Agent, Travel Agent, Waitress, Singing Waitress, Pizza Delivery Girl, Uber and Lyft Driver, and lastly a Realtor ® since 2017. In all of these careers the common thread was giving of my time and serving people to encourage them and make their daily lives easier or more secure. I have said it before I love people. And, on top of enjoying their company, it grieves me more when I see them struggle and I can’t help to want to be a helping hand or listening ear, if they request it. Since I have struggled, I want to give of my time to those that grieve and need their hand held during a moment of crisis.
I have put together an E-Pamphlet titled, “5 Steps to Managing the Loss of a Loved One”. The steps include: 1. Acknowledging Your Grief 2. Focus on Your Mental Health 3. Create a Positive Environment 4. Be Gentle With Yourself, and 5. Have a Plan and Take Your Time. I invite you to read this short pamphlet of about 12 pages to start on your journey of healing from your loss. Click on URL below to download.
