Tending to plants in a garden or your home is a wonderful activity for individuals dealing with a loss. If you received houseplants as sympathy gifts, take a moment to look up the care instructions. Most houseplants require minimal watering and fertilization. Some like to be watered from the bottom, which can be accomplished with a drip tray or saucer. When in doubt, call the florist to learn more about your plants' care requirements.

For Move-it Monday, you don't need weights! Simple arm movements will work to get your blood flowing. You can pretend like you are doing a bicep curl and engage your muscles as if they are moving through water to get a similar effect. Exercise bands are also an inexpensive alternative to weights.

Awareness of grief milestones is a first step in getting through the difficult days. Whether it is one month since a loss or 5 years, or an anniversary or birthday, these days are some of the most challenging. Having an intentional plan for commemorating your loved one can help. Some find comfort in visiting the grave, lighting a candle at home, or having a meal with family to celebrate the person's life. Whatever you choose, we wish you grace as you travel your grief journey.
