“The first episode I listened to was about grief and hospice. Before I clicked on it, part of me was, “I don’t have time to listen to anything that talks about death and grief” because I recently lost my dad back in January to a sudden heart attack, he was 43.
However another part of me was said, “why not click on this link and listen to it? Just do some chores while you listen so you’re not wasting time”.
I’m so glad I listened to this podcast.
It’s given me inspiration to grow my life around my grief. I’m going to follow the advice I learned from the podcast: grow the box (my life) bigger so that the Grief ball in the box doesn’t keep pushing on the Pain button that’s also in the box.
I don’t want to end up being apathetic around my kids EVERY day until they move out of the house just because I’m letting my grief and negative throughts take over most of my time and brain energy on a daily basis in the back of my head and not appreciate little things in life.
I now write at least one thing positive that happened earlier in the day and put in a canister I keep by my bedside. That way, if I’m saying to myself one day, “I’ve wasted my life so what’s the point? I’ll just lay in bed all day, “ I can shake the canister and take a positive memory note from it. I’ll probably email a copy of it to myself just in case I lose the canister somehow in a fire haha.
Thank you for creating this episode on grief and the world of hospice.”
