We Remember Them

We Remember Them

At the rising sun and and at its going down;

We remember them.

At the blueness of the skies and in the

warmth of summer;

We remember them.

As long as we live, they too will live,

for they are now a part of us as

We remember them.

01. Embrace Nature’s Healing
Nature has a way of comforting our souls and providing a soothing solace with its gentle breeze, calming sounds of nature and sun’s warmth. Take the opportunity to explore the beauty of summer by taking walks in parks, visit botanical gardens or find a quiet place near the water. Nature can be a powerful companion during our times of grief.

02. Create a Personal Retreat
Amid summer’s busyness and heat, carve out intentional moments of solitude to honor your emotions, slow down and engage in activities that bring you joy. Create a cozy space at home where you can retreat and recharge. Dedicate time to pursue activities that nourish your soul, such as journaling, painting, practicing mindfulness. Remember, self care is not selfish; it’s essential for healing and growth.

03. Volunteer and Connect
As you navigate your grief, consider extending your hand to others who may also be struggling during the summer. Volunteer your time at local community organizaitons, shelters or churches. Engaging in acts of kindness not only helps those in need, but it can also provide a sense of purpose and fulfillment. Reach out to friends or acquaintances who might feel alone and organize gatherings or activities that promote connection and support.

04. Eat Healthy and Hydrate
Taking care of our physical well-being is an essential aspect of self-care. Take advantage of the abundance of fresh produce available during the summer. Visit local farmers markets or grow your own fruits and vegetables. Eating a balanced diet can nourish your body and provide the energy needed to navigate the emotional journey of grief. Drink plenty of water throughout the day. Hydration is crucial for maintaining overall health and well-being.

05. Prioritize Quality Sleep
Sleep plays a vital role in our mental and emotional well-being. It can be challenging to get adequate rest during grief, as our minds often race with thoughts and emotions. Establish a bedtime routine while creating ga peaceful sleep environment, free from distractions and electronics. Prioritize quality sleep, which allows your body and mind to rejuvenate and promotes emotional healing.
