In case you need a reminder, grief is not selfish. Soren Kirkegaard wrote this in 1847:

“The work of love in recollecting one who is dead is thus a work of the most unselfish, the freest, the most faithful love. Therefore go out and practice it; recollect the one who is dead and just in this way learn to love the living unselfishly, freely, faithfully.”

We agree with practicing this kind of love. Reminisce to bring a loved one close again.

A small percentage of seniors make new year's resolutions, and that's fine. Instead of making resolutions that fall to the wayside, consider making 1 small change to enhance your life. Once you've mastered that, whether it's adding a fruit or vegetable to your diet or walking once a week, move on to another small but meaningful improvement. Research has shown that focusing on making small and gradual changes can be more effective than making radical changes to your life.

With snowy weather making its way across the country, now is a good time to review a few winter walking tips:
-Walk like a penguin--slowly and carefully, with your full foot making contact with the ground
-Keep your hands free to enhance your balance
-Look for ice patches when you get out of the car or step out of the house
-Watch for ice under the edges of awnings and along curbs
-Choose boots or shoes with treads for gripping
-Stick to sidewalks

Grievers, please remember that it is okay to decline invitations and take time for yourself. Self care can go by the wayside when the hustle and bustle sets in. Remember to schedule that time to protect your mental and emotional health. ❤️

Navigating the holidays after a loss can be challenging for many. One subtle way to honor a loved one is to create a memorial space for the person. At this time of year, that could mean incorporating holiday decorations around their photo or creating a wreath featuring ornaments or symbols that represent their personality. This could become a seasonal display, changing decorations throughout the year to honor their memory.
