Taking Care of Ourselves

and Others

   

and Staying Sane

in these crazy times

 

Light a Candle for your Losses

 

​

​

​

Who or what have you lost because of this virus?

​

Who or what are you grieving for?

​

​

Your normal life...

 

Your work or income...

 

Your freedom....

​

​

Contact with family, or an elderly loved one...

​

Connection with friends...

​

​

Someone you have lost...

​

People you don't even know....

​

​

Something else that is coming to mind...

​

​

Now imagine holding a candle in your hand.

​

​

Taking a match, and light the candle...

And as you do so, think of your loved ones...

your losses...

​

whoever, whatever, is coming to mind...

and allow yourself

​

to grieve... 

​

​

​

( Just feel... and breathe...

​

​

feel, and breathe...

​

​

for as long as you need... )

​

​

In Memoriam

​

For each person who has died around the world...

​

Each one was somebody's daughter or son...

​

Each one was somebody's father, or mother...

Sister, or brother...

Loved one, or friend...

​

Each one was cared for by somebody else...

or deserved to be.

​

May we remember them today, right now,

and hold them in our thoughts and prayers.

​

And as we say goodbye...

and wish them well...

​

We send them our love.

​

​

In Peace / May It Be Done / Amen / God Bless
