We Now Can Off er A Wider Range Of Services To Meet Your Family's Specifi c Need And Customs. January 1st is just an- other day for some people but if you have recently lost a loved one, starting the New Year without them can be challenging. A new year that once began as a fresh start with joy and excitement can be a painful reminder of the loved one who isn't here to share it. Whether we welcome, dread, or ignore a new year may depend on where we are in our grief process. Acknowledging our grief, we can choose to make softer resolutions for the new year. Below are 8 "reasonable" resolutions to consider: 1. Go easy on yourself: Don't pressure yourself or allow others to pressure you into feeling you should be "over" the loss. Being kind to yourself may be the best resolution a griever can make. 2. Spend time with peo- ple you like: Resolve to put a little effort into connecting with others who make you happy and well supported. 3. Engage in one hobby or activity that makes you feel good: Any enjoyable beneficial activity is impor- tant to your mental health. 4. Be honest about how you feel: Finding ways to express your true feelings in places where you feel safe to do so can be beneficial. 5. Speak your loved one's name: Keep remem- bering stories, their sayings, favorite songs, books, and share those memories with others. 6. Embrace one of your loved ones' values, hopes or dreams: It may take work, but will feel great to carry out that passion or dream. 7. Support someone else: Grief changes us for- ever, but you may even- tually find the wisdom, strength, and insight to give as well as receive. 8. Plan ways to remem- ber and seek formal support through support groups, Memory Bear/Pillow work- shops, Grief walks, etc., and resolve to take the first steps at the beginning of the year. The Grief Support Team at Hospice Cleveland County offers services to families they have served as well as the larger com- munity. They will be by your side following the loss of a loved one to help pro- vide grief support. Please call 704-487-4677 or visit www.HospiceCares.cc to learn more.
