LGood67334 Junior Member Registered: 06/05/04 Posts: 89 Loc: California	Loss of a loved one can consume the survivor. Sometimes journaling can help. Sometimes sharing that journaling with others who are suffering can help even more. You Want Me To Do What? is a five-week workshop, conducted through group e-mails, that uses journaling to relieve caregiver stress. For information about whether this program can help you, contact facilitator B. Lynn Goodwin, Lgood67334@comcast.net, and put “Journaling” in the subject box. Lynn is a veteran of over six years of caregiving, a freelance writer and editor, and a former college and high school teacher. Her definition of caregiving includes more people than you can imagine.

The one you've loss, is always there in your heart. You have and cherish their spirit; you look forward to joining them for all eternity, someday; and thoughts of them put a smile on your face. You'll always miss them, always love them, and they'll always be with you. Thoughts of them comfort your soul! Life teaches you many things you'd rather not know! Most times, they're lessons you can't learn from books. And, like riding a bike, they're lessons you never forget!!! _________________________ https://www.amazon.com/author/bonnie.mill-lemke https://kdp.amazon.com/en_US/bookshelf

Glad you found comfort in there somewhere. Prayers and blessings, a boom sister _________________________ https://www.amazon.com/author/bonnie.mill-lemke https://kdp.amazon.com/en_US/bookshelf

chatty lady Writer Registered: 02/24/04 Posts: 20267 Loc: Nevada	Well Jabber, your comment hit home for me. No matter how many years pass by, I still think of and hold both my close losses in my heart. I have lost others as well, but my two husbands have been the worse losses, and my mind never lets me forget. Just when I think I have BAM something happens to bring on a memory and the blubbering starts or even better, it makes me smile a wide remembering smile. _________________________ Take a peek at my BLOG: http://charleen-micheles.blogspot.com/
