Sharing these good self-care reminders from our Ancora Compassionate Care Grief Support page.

If you don't already follow this page, we encourage you to do so - always lots of great tips and information.

For this first self care Friday of the new year let’s start with a goal of practicing gratitude, even on the bad days. Gratitude doesn’t erase pain or struggle, but it can help you face it with hope in reminders that there is still good in the world.
