The Brochure on Embracing Grief: Honoring Dallas and the Healing Power of Self-Care
Manage episode 410210697 series 3386590
As I navigate the beginning of my life - our lives - without our beloved horse Dallas, I share a couple of the heart wrenching experiences from this past week. There is solace I suppose in rituals that ease the burden of grief, or at least help you navigate the world. His stall at the barn is now a tribute to him, with flowers and heartfelt notes, each message a testament to the love Dallas inspired. Then there are his ashes, that are finally back with us at home. There's some comfort in that. Through it all, our loyal dog, Brownie, and the unexpected refuge found in a new part-time job, offer moments of peace amidst the sorrow.
Navigating the tumultuous seas of loss requires a compass of self-care, a theme explored in this week's conversation. I unveil the steps I've taken to maintain a sense of balance—hydrating, walking with Brownie, eating healthily, and embracing rest. This episode is not just my journey; it's an open door for you, the listener, as we walk this path together. Join us as we share in the collective experience of grief, finding strength in the messages of support from our community and discovering a wellspring of hope that guides us toward next week's update. Grief is always a part of life.
