Dealing with the loss of a loved one is hard. Coming back from that depression is even harder. How do you go on when it seems like nothing matters? This is where I found myself after unexpectedly losing several family members in a very short period of time, one of them my premature grandson. Once the whirlwind of funerals ended, my job was no longer appealing, I didn't want to spend time with friends, and the things I used to enjoy no longer put a smile on my face. Inside, I desperately wanted to get back to some semblance of a life, but I couldn't find anything to help me crawl out of my funk. So, I decided to take matters into my own hands. All the self-help books I had read over the years gave me a lot of theory, but I had trouble finding actual steps I could take that didn't involve an eight week course of self discovery. I needed help immediately. I came up with one small thing each day that I could do to help me feel better. It didn't matter if it was big or small. I just had to commit to it. It was easy to do just one thing a day and after a couple of weeks, I started noticing a change. I smiled more and began looking less haggard. The fog that had consumed my life was beginning to lift. The act of doing is what made the difference and over several months, I became me again. I kept track of the actions I took so I could share them with others who are now where I was. I believe doing one thing each day to make myself feel better is what brought me back to my life. I believe it will help you too.
