words of encouragement and advice
"Laughter is amazing medicine! Take time to
watch something funny, even if it is just all by
yourself. Think of jokes and share them.
Create a group for sharing funny memes!
Whether you like dark humour or dry British
wit, find something that will help you feel a
spark of joy, and actually LOL."
"There will be "good" days and "bad" days,
but at the end of the day make sure that
you rest. It is hard work operating while
sad. Rest can be early to bed, or leaving a
chore undone. Driving yourself hard will
distract you, but will leave you depleted. Be
gentle with yourself and remember
everything hard gets done one day at a
time."
"Do more for YOU! Whenever my
husband is away, I always sign up for
something just for me - I've done
courses, workshops, zumba and
even online events. I find this helps
make the time go be quicker but
also it excites me to do something
for myself."
