Remembering
the Good Times
“Real happiness is so simple that most
people do not recognize it. They think it comes from doing something on a
grand scale, from some great achievement, or great recognition. In reality it
is derived from the simplest, the quietest, the most unpretentious moments
shared by two or in a family. Moments shared with those we love.”
I had the
good fortune to facilitate a Mixed Grief Group made up of
individuals from different life experiences around the death of a loved one.
(Death
of a spouse, a child, a sibling, a parent or a relative.)
We shared our
lack of ability to control what happened or when our feelings / emotions would make an appearance
causing sadness, tears and/or anger; often at the most inappropriate time. Then
we talked about “Happy Moments”, a special memory or a meaningful experience
shared with their loved one. Pictures of these moments flooded their minds as
we sat late into the night remembering all the “Good Times or Funny Moments
shared”. What would your story be?
