Write down all the people you can count on to help you, and what you can rely on them for. It sounds like a crazy suggestion, but is so incredibly helpful. It's such a comfort to see a physical manifestation of support, and having a list in place helps you remember who you can ask for what. In my case, it's helping me keep track of various wonderful offers to help (to watch the kids, for a night out, etc.)<br /><br />I'm so sorry for the loss of your brother.Jennifer Finkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10568576650343979230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-792745986850454057.post-46210751208390292912009-09-18T11:35:11.511-07:002009-09-18T11:35:11.511-07:00You keyed in on something so important, Kerri...&q...You keyed in on something so important, Kerri..."if only just to hear us." Isn't that all that any of us want--to be heard? We have to fix, heal and deal with our own stuff. But to be heard? That reminds us we are truly not alone, and it's such a blessing.
