Dealing with grief is not easy. I lost my dad to cancer last May. The only way I coped was to be grateful for each day. I took it one day at a time, and gave myself a chance to begin again every morning. Here’s how I’ve done it so far:
I celebrated being a fan, from crocheting Star Wars amigurumi to buying a Hello Kitty Beep card and Happy Meal.
I made sure that my Human Nature online store was up and running. I also regularly attended company events and launches.
I worked freelance, and wrote reports like my life depended on them.
I became a full-on foodie and just ate the best meals to satisfy my cravings.
I continued to blog here daily, even when I felt that there was nothing worth talking about.
If you are going through a tough time, I suggest that you take something out of my playbook and just keep going. There is always something to celebrate in the ordinary. You just have to try.
