just breathe

December 25, 2019

My first package of Zox included very inspiring words to strengthen me and remind me to: Just Breathe, Stay Strong and Keep Swimming. I chose these three because I lost my only child (my son) on 6.14.16. He was 14 years old. In my grief journey, I have learned so much. I actually started facilitating a GriefShare class 9 months after he passed. My advice when one is new in their grief journey, is to, “Just Breathe.” That’s all you need to focus on at first. That’s all I could focus on after this type of “reverse death order” loss. “Stay Strong” speaks for itself re grief and moving forward without your loved one. The “Keep Swimming,” brought back wonderful memories of going to see Nemo with my son (we LOVED going to the movies together) and Dory saying, “Just keep swimming.” Keep moving forward, until you are with your loved one again. 💚💚💚💚
