Coping Creative

Grief isn’t only something we experience after the death of someone we love ❤️‍🩹

We experience grief through other losses too.

Maybe your person is still physically here, but you’ve lost them as the person you knew them to be.

Illness, injury, addiction, abandonment, etc.

While griefand loss in any form can make this Season feel heavy, we can still honor our loved ones even if things might be different.

We spent some time with some kiddos this month honoring Christmas traditions in the midst of atypical grief and loss. 🎄

Intervention:
⭐️Creating a stocking for their special person
⭐️Creating personalized ornaments
⭐️Making Christmas cards
⭐️Writing Christmas letters

No matter what life throws our way, we can still build new relationships with our most favorite people, even if those relationships look different moving forward. ⭐️

We can honor what was, but find ways to make new. ❤️

Merry Christmas!

We hope you enjoy the day with your beautiful families.

❤️💚

Distraction doesn’t have to be complicated! ✨

It can be as simple as this DIY seek and find. It’s an easy grab and go for any medical visits, expected or unexpected.

All you need is:

⭐️Freezer Bag
⭐️Glitter Glue
⭐️Trinkets to seek and find
⭐️Super glue to seal the bag
⭐️Paper and markers to create a key for searching

Have fun creating! 🤗
