I think we need to erase the narrative that men have to be this manly macho figure in our lives who carry no emotion. That is wrong and not what the world needs. We need to all be treated like equals who are allowed to feel any and every emotion.

Checking in with yourself as one of the hardest things I think I've ever had to do. It is so amazing when you have friends family loved ones who check in on you but it is not something that you can depend on. Just make sure that you are always taking time to check in with yourself. You deserve to be the best version of you! --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

Naturally we all experience waves of happiness snd sadness. Have you ever experienced it at the same time? I'm struggling hard with this. I don't know which way is up. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

You're where you're suppose to be!

You can rise up. Time and time again you can do that. You are allowed to struggle. You are allowed to fall. We are all human and making mistakes is part of our nature.

Finding joy is hard. It could be the smallest thing or the largest thing. Everything in between as well. I hope I encourage you to find that joy in your daily life. Grief is not a normal 9-to-5 type of schedule. It works long hours. It works overtime. It comes and goes as it pleases. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

Schedule time for a service or a treat is so needed. If you can make it happen once a month do it!

It's so important to have a healthy mind and healthy body. So often we forget to take care of our bodies by supporting them with good foods. Make sure you're giving your body what it needs while your healing

Judging happens but instead think of it as someone trying to not feel alone. Grief is a hard journey no one should walk it alone. Ig @hellkerr Email

Do you always see Repetitive numbers? Chances are that is not a coincidence. That is your love one telling you that they are with you. In that moment. For a certain reason. Assurance that they have not missed a beat. I hope this brings you love. IG @hellkerr Email

Forgiveness looks different for everyone. It is one of the first steps in my healing process that I have replayed over and over again. Some days I'm still filled with so much anger that it consumes me. Other days I try to connect to my higher power and know that forgiveness is going to only help me heal more. I encourage trying this is it something that you're struggling with. When you're ready and the time is right. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

Too often I think that we get caught up in missing our person and what they would be doing if they were here that I think we miss out on the opportunities life offers us. I'd be lying to you if I said that my grief got in the way of happiness. Just like anything there are days where it is harder than others. I invite you to try to live more in the moment with me in 2021. Creating a life full of opportunities and living in the moment. IG @hellkerr Email

Grieving a living person is one of the hardest forms of grief to go through. This person may not be in your life for several different reasons. Perhaps it's for the better. Perhaps it's something that happened not on your terms. Either way those feelings are still valid, it's hard to watch that person continue to live their life without you. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app
