Pushing Through the Grief

Posted on by Gertie

Hello, World!!! I am doing slightly better than I was in my last post. I went for a walk which helped a great deal. I also read the news paper and had tea. I did this to honor my grandma and have been doing this since before she passed away but today was to honor her.

I also did some painting. I am painting a yellow rose to honor my grandma. My Grandma’s favorite flower was the yellow rose. Painting the yellow rose helps me heal and is a way to honor my grandma.

Thanks for reading. Peace Out, World!!!

Keeping Busy Through Grief

Posted on by Gertie

Hello, World!!! Right now I am dealing with some sadness. Sadness about missing my grandma. I miss greatly miss my grandma. It’s going to be a hard few days for me. Tomorrow is Mother’s Day and Monday is the third month anniversary of my grandma’s death. I wish dealing with grief wasn’t so difficult.

I have been doing multiple things to help me with the grief I have been dealing with. One of the things I have been doing to creating my schedule for next week. Having a regular schedule helps me with my recovery.

Another thing I have been doing is painting. Painting and all forms of art help me express my emotions. The emotions that I can not express in words come through in my art.

Thank you for reading. Peace Out, World!!!

 

Dealing With Grief

Posted on by Gertie

Good Morning, World!!! Today, I am getting together with my dad, grandpa and two uncles to celebrate Mother’s Day a day early in memory of my grandma. Tomorrow is going to be a difficult day for my family as well as myself because it is going to be the first Mother’s Day without my grandma.

To help with the grief with this weekend I have a lot planned. Some of what I have planned is as simple as stuff I do everyday. Stuff such as reading Star War: Heir To The Empire or painting or listening to Podcast. Reading and listening helps me forget about the loss for a temporary amount of time. Painting helps me express my emotions.

Thank you for reading. Have a great weekend. Peace Out, World!!!

 

Painting to Help Through Axiety

Posted on by Gertie

Hello, World!!! I am doing better than I was than my last post. I have been painting the last few hours. Painting has helped me express my emotions when I can not seem to put word to my emotions. One of these days I will share more paintings with you.

I think I am going to go to bed now. Have a great nights sleep. Goodnight and Peace Out, World!!!

More Random Ramblings.

Hello, World!!! I am starting to feel a lot better than I did this morning. I am planning on going to the social security office tomorrow since I didn’t make it today. On the plus note, social security put money into my account for some reason. I am not going to argue with getting money.

I bought two more Star Wars books to read with the money I got today. I am really impressed by the Star Wars: Heir To The Empire book I thought I would buy more. I really am enjoying the book.

Another thing I am planning on doing with the money is buying some art supplies. Art is another thing that is helpful for me and I love to paint. Painting helps me express my emotions when I can’t share them verbally.

Thank you for reading. Have a great day. Peace out, World!!!

A Taking it Easy Type of Day

Posted on by Gertie

Good Morning, World!!! I was planning on going to the social security office today however I fell asleep and slept through my alarm. I fell asleep because I was up way too early. Technically, I can still go but that means I would have to wait a lot longer. I am now planning on going on Wednesday as I have appointments tomorrow (Tuesday).

I am not really not planning on doing much today as the lack of sleep I got last night and I am not feeling all that well. I am not even planning on going to Art Group due to the fact that I am not feeling well. It is disappointing that I won’t be able to attend Art Group however I would rather get better today so I can see my therapist tomorrow as well as my primary care physician (pcp).

On that note, I am planning on taking it easy by reading the Star Wars book I started reading yesterday. I am loving the book. It is such an easy read. Something what I call eye candy.

Thank you for reading. I greatly appreciate all of you. Have an incredible day everyone and Peace Out, World.

My Saturday

Posted on by Gertie

Good Evening, World!!! I have had a good day. I first had lunch with my family to celebrate my uncle’s birthday. He liked the card I made him as well as the picture I painted for him. He know where he is “going to put it.”

After lunch with my family I hung out with a friend from elementary school and junior high. I made her spaghetti as it is her favorite meal. It was nice to see her. We hang out every two months or so.

Now that my friend left, I am blogging about my day. I now plan on reading one of my new books. A Star Wars book. I am looking forward to reading it.

Thanks for reading. Peace Out, World!!!
