As I am dealing with my mom's death
- I may not always act at my best. But I am always trying to do my best.
- I will not accept personal or judgemental attacks on my behavior, even if I am not acting my best.
- I will not accept personal attacks on taking time to take care of myself.
- I will give myself as much time as needed to deal with the death of my mom and her estate.
- I will give you the benefit of the doubt that you are doing your best, and not judge or attack you for your behavior.
- I will protect myself when I am attacked.
- I will have compassion and empathy to the best of my ability.
I am doing the best I can, honoring my human form, my emotions, dealing with this difficult time. I ask for care, kindness and compassion.
I refuse to go through the grieving process isolated and alone. I refuse to bottle up my emotions. I refuse to bury my sadness in work and other distractions. I refuse to pretend that I can take on and solve everything.
I know through time, space, compassion and attention I will come through this grief recovery process with the wonderful memories of my mom, with her estate wrapped up in a teal bow and with closure for her amazing life.
