The Necessity to Include ‘Feel Good Times’

When someone loses a beloved, the period that follows is often filled with grief and sadness. Negative emotions dominate as individuals struggle with a new reality. Yes, having this state of mind often occurs with those who grieve but efforts still need to be made to create positive feelings where happiness and joy can be experienced.

Why not make a point to find Feel-Good Times, a time to put worries and sadness aside, and focus on today, the beauty within it and the opportunities it presents. What do your feel-good moments look like? Are you solo or do you have one or more friends or companions with you? Are you indoors or outdoors? Depending on what you enjoy, there are many ways to find or create these occasions.

Why not: go for a walk in nature, create a tasty meal or dessert, read something that inspires you, attend an event, get artsy, get physical, listen to your favorite tunes, or connect with your favourite people?

Feel-good times allow a reprieve. They create an atmosphere to experience happiness and joy and they help heal. Are you ready to make a pledge to increase the feel-good in your life?

Grief and My Inner Monologue

We all live in our heads. The grief response is largely influenced by prior experience with the loss of a loved one, one’s level of emotional maturity and some knowledge and expectation about the natural process that grief is. Everyone will have a different and ongoing monologue.

Grief is known is known to influence one’s thoughts in two primary ways: initially there is an overwhelming numbness that interferes with any thought and secondly, there is an increase in the prevalence of negative thoughts and thinking.

Allowing emotions to flow is part of the recovery process. Choosing to engage in creative activities can soften painful thoughts and change one’s inner dialogue. Writing, painting, cooking, listening to music and watching comedy are all examples of healthy creative exercises. Whatever we tell ourselves becomes our reality so it’s important to include soothing moments into our daily actions.

Journaling is one widely used way to express feelings. Eventually new thoughts emerge and pressing replay of a painful monologue becomes less frequent.

Well-meaning supporters who offer advice on what are appropriate thoughts and actions are a reflection of their own experience. Not yours. Myths imposed by a death denying society are not at all useful in processing grief. Creating a healthy inner monologue is a choice to be made in order to process grief and move towards recovery.

Making Pot-pourri from Funeral Flowers

As an integral part of the funeral ceremony, flowers have long been used to express feelings of sympathy and support. Following the service, many families take these flower arrangements home with them, cherishing the beauty they provide in the days that follow. However, as we know, fresh flowers have a finite life, meaning bouquets and floral displays will eventually wilt and lose their lustre.

We have heard from families that in an effort to have these flowers last longer they use the delicate petals to make pot-pourri. This is an easy process that starts with drying the flowers, either by tying the stems together and hanging them upside down or by removing the petals and placing them on a parchment-lined cookie sheet in a low-temperature oven. Some flowers such as roses, daisies, peonies, mums and baby’s breath dry well while other flowers such as lilies are a bit harder to preserve.

Once the flowers are dry, mix the petals with an assortment of pine cones, dried orange slices, cinnamon sticks and herbs such as whole cloves. For added scent, consider adding a few drops of a fragrant oil.

Pot-pourri can then be stored in sachets and hung on bedroom doorknobs or be displayed in a bowl, freshening up any room as an endearing symbol of beauty and hope. Pot-pourri sachets can also be given to family and friends as a keepsake, a small remembrance item from the heart.
