The pain of losing a child is unbearable at the best of times. Mothers who have lost a child feel this pain intensify at Christmas, which is full of painful reminders and memories of their child. I have researched and tried all these tips over many years and these are the 7 best tips that have worked for me and helped me during this most painful of times. I know they will help you through this most painful of times.
1. Do Something Different - Go to a movie, the beach or volunteer to help cook Christmas lunch for the homeless.
2. Write Down 3 People or Things that you are Grateful for - Between now and New Years Day write down 3 things or people everyday (different ones each day) that you are grateful for. (Hint! Put your loved one at the top of the list everyday! Think of them in a loving and positive way everyday.)
3. Acknowledge Your Feelings - If you want to cry, cry, if you want to laugh, laugh. Acknowledge the fact that they are your feelings and let them flow.
4. Meditation and Visualisation - Close your eyes and visualise your child looking down on you with a big beautiful smile, reaching out and holding your hand, kissing you on the cheek and guiding you through your journey. Know, really know that your child is there for you always.
5. Faith - It doesn't matter if you believe in God or Buddha or Mohammed or the Man in the Moon! Trust your faith and your God to help you at this time. Your God will!
6. Serve Others - Nothing is more satisfying or helpful to your well being than helping others. Help at the local soup kitchen, volunteer to feed the homeless at Christmas lunch or just help an elderly person cross the road. There is always someone worse off than we are. Be grateful for all you have and help those with nothing. Your soul will soar and your child will be by your side and will be so proud of you.
