From the book,
"Healing Your Grieving Soul,
100 Spiritual Practices For Mourners"
by Alan D. Wolfelt, PH.D.

18.
SCHEDULE SOMETHING THAT GIVES
YOU PLEASURE EACH AND EVERY DAY


*When we're in mourning, often we need something to look forward to, a reason to get out of bed.

*It's hard to look forward to each day when you know you will be experiencing pain and sadness.

*To counterbalance your normal and necessary mourning, plan something you enjoy doing every day.

*Reading, baking, going for a walk, having lunch with a friend, playing computer games- whatever brings you enjoyment.

(Just remember- no inappropriate risk-taking)
