Thanks for the Heroes

It is hard to believe that my last blog post was almost a month ago.  Apologies to my followers and readers.  It has  been a few very hectic months preparing for community outreach programs, etc.  One of the programs was the Holidays and Heartaches Program during which we had a panel consisting of people who have experienced losses in their lives.    A griever graduates very slowly from the one to be healed to the one who is helping heal.  I have been with most of these panelist from onset of their grief, and I breathe a sign of happiness when I recognize  them advancing in their journey.  When they begin to help others, I know they are not stuck in their grief but moving forward.  Their testimonials of the process are invaluable as it also promotes continued healing for themselves.   As we near the day of Thanksgiving, I give thanks for all these heroes who have done the work, who have gone through the pain and who recognize the need to support others.  I wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving and am thankful for those allowing me to be part of their journey.
