Grief Survivor: 30 Steps Toward Hope and Healing Näide

GLIMMERS OF HOPE

Every person's path through grief is different, but over time you will see glimmers of light through the darkness. Some positive signs may be as simple as going through an entire day without tears, or attending a social function without needing a getaway car running in the parking lot.

If you've been keeping a journal, revisit your earlier writings to see how far you've come. Some encouraging signs might be:

- smiling and laughing more

- saying yes to more invitations

- sleeping all night

- feeling more joyful

Noticing steps toward healing, even small steps, can inspire you on your journey.

Reflect: Write about any glimmers of hope you've noticed recently.
