This is a common question asked of someone who has lost someone very close to them, a loved one. So, here is what helps me cope.
Talking about her and the things we did together.
Celebrating her life, her example, her legacy.
Going to our favorite places (bench at CDM, Disneyland, Fashion Island, etc).
Writing this blog.
Finding a way to make a difference in the lives of others, especially those battling cancer.
Creating a Non-Profit that will minister to and help patients and families.
Directing OC's Get Your Rear In Gear 5K that raises awareness for screening for Colon Cancer.
Looking to my faith in Jesus Christ to heal my broken heart.
Spending time with friends and family.
Walks around the lake I live near, or along the beach.
Taking a drive, listening to music.
Doing her favorite things with friends and family.
Believing that she would want me and all of us to go on living life to its fullest.
Staying connected with her kids.
It is possible to cope with immense loss and pain in positive ways. Hope this list inspires you to create your own, then act on it. Life is full of moments that are just waiting to take our breath away, will you let it?
