In reply to Kathleen Robinson. I'm so glad you found Marshmallow Ranch and that it has helped you. Just remember, there is no rule book for grief. You do it your way and pick up those tips that suit you. Nothing more, nothing less. Joy is the answer. Find at least one joyful thing every day, dear one. One becomes two, then four, and life gets a little bit easier. ❤️

I signed up yesterday for the mailing list and today I began to look through what was sent to me. I can’t thank you enough to have Ginny’s writings land in front of me! 3 months ago I lost my partner of 22 years so very suddenly. My heart, my head and body ache from losing him and trying to decide now how to cope with what to do and who I am and the direction I want to go is so difficult. I had begun my declutter but it became too much and so I closed up my house and came up to be with all of my family, just what I needed!! I will now continue to Put Something Joyful in Front of Me and thanks Ginny because I am going to join just so I can expand on my energy, love and life!

In reply to Sally.

I’m sure it’s a combination of all of the above, Sally. It’s been a whirlwind month, I’ll miss my kids now, and top it off with camper troubles and a major expense I wasn’t planning for, then the door opened and I got hit with the wave I didn’t see coming. It happens that way sometimes. I’m much better after a couple days of rest, good sleep, good food, and some exercise. I got the lawns mowed today and it’s a brighter world! ❤️

I was going to say the benign thing of ‘well you know, when you have a lot of happy and exciting experiences like your recent trip, sometimes you have a low right after-a mountaintop experience and then a valley experience’…then I read about your comforting the young widow and the reopening of a door to grief. I’m so sorry.

Thank you . I am coming up on the one year mark. I will never be that same person again. Alot of me is now gone, but ,as my oldest son said, I need to reinvent myself to be a totally New me. Never in my life have made my own decisions, but I’m learning to. If I make a mistake,it my mistake and I will work it out on my own. Kevin , my handicapped son, and I will make it !
