    • When someone we love is grieving, we often worry a When someone we love is grieving, we often worry about what to say or do. Having experienced the loss of my mother, I know how much even the smallest gestures can mean. Here are five simple ways to help someone who's hurting through grief. 1. Your presence makes a world of difference. If possible, attend the wake or funeral. I'll never forget the church members who drove an hour to support me or the coworkers who flew in to stand by me. It was like a blanket of compassion surrounded me. 2. Just listen. Don't worry about finding the right words. Sometimes sitting with someone, holding their hand, or letting them cry is exactly what they need. 3. Write a personal sympathy message. A card is always thoughtful, but sharing a memory of their loved one can be a balm for the soul. I treasured those personal messages. 4. Drop off something nourishing. When you're grieving, shopping and preparing meals may be the last things on your mind. A meal, basket of fruit, or grocery gift card can help enormously. 5. Give a thoughtful gift. Flowers, a framed photo, or a small remembrance can bring comfort. A coworker sent me an angel wind chime after my mother's passing. It still hangs outside my kitchen window, where I see it every day. When someone you care about experiences grief and you don't know what to do, I hope these five simple ways will give you some ideas. How has someone helped you through grief? I'd love for you to share your experience so others can benefit.

    Have you ever had one of those terrible, horrible, Have you ever had one of those terrible, horrible, no good, very bad days? Here are five spiritual practices I use to worry less and get some rest. 1. Use Bible Verses for Meditation. Psalm 23 reminds us that God makes us lie down in green pastures and restores our souls. God created us with rest being an important part of life. 2. Create a Gratitude List. Write down all you are thankful for. Sometimes we become so focused on what's going wrong that we forget how blessed we are. 3. Learn to Be Still. What is your favorite place in your home? A view out the window? A comfortable chair? A favorite blanket? How often do we calm our minds to hear the "still small voice" speak to us? 4. Practice Giving Up Control. Do we take on everything without God's presence in our lives? Do we rush ahead and not realize we are in God's hands? Yes, we need to show up and do our part, but we can release our worries and ask for help. 5. Remember to Ask the Why in Our Lives. Understanding our purpose in life gives us a perspective that extends beyond ourselves. When we know the why, it helps us prevail through challenges. What would you add to this list? I'd love to hear your suggestions so we can all benefit.
