Description
Each of our stories are unique and that is a wonderful part of life.
Stories are meant to be shared… to feel, smell, laugh and cry and bring us back to that time when…
Groups are the best way to share these stories. I’ve lead these types of groups since 2009. I’m honored to offer the program online and though an app.
After the death of a Loved One, we are left to figure out how to live in a new way. These memories can bring forth all sorts of emotions the first times we visit them.
In time, we learn how to connect with memories in sorrow and sometimes laughter. And we eventually accept that we may even feel both at the same time, and that is okay.
There is so much to do within our grief. Not to mention so many ways to actually grieve.
💛💛💛
You have your own story of living and grieving. These stories help you learn how to live in this new world while we grieve.
So many stories… Where do we start?
The program rotates through 11 topical prompts. This gives you some room to breathe into the process before going into the next topic. There is no “too slow” or “getting behind.”
At the end of the year, you could have up to 40 stories!
The general themes are:
- Unforgettable Moments – Those stories that surround important Milestone Moments and Special Days.
- Caring, Loving, Living – Without these three things, there would be no stories…
- Good Days & Tough Days – Not everyday was a great day… and that’s okay to talk about.
- Capturing & Holding Stories – Explore ways to hold onto the work you are doing within the program.
- Gifts of Everyday – Stories of everyday life… things that make you go hmmmm… even a funny story.
- Teachable Moments – Life is full of lessons, what did you learn from each other?
- Pedestals and Valleys – Just as we are fallible, our Loved One was too… we are just human after all…
- You, Me and Us – We have parts were we intersect in interests and values and parts where we differ from our Loved Ones…
- First, Then, Next – It may not seem like it, but you’ve changed quite a bit since your loss.
- Tending Your Grief Garden – This explores various aspects of life that have helped you along in your grief.
- Who Am I Now? – This is an amazing story of transformation – Your Story!
