Growing Through Grief part 2
<p>After a long hiatus I’m back with part two of growing through grief. I promise the future episodes will get lighter, but for now I’m still growing through it y’all. Since grief is constant and all you can do is learn to live with it and manage it, I give some advice on how I’ve been growing through each day by putting my own personal spin on the days of the week. I truly hope part two of growing through grief finds you when you most need it. Feel free to share this episode with someone that may be struggling with grief. Just remember to take the time to breathe, because it will all get better eventually. Come along for the ride as I am growing through me. </p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p>Music that’s growing me through grief:</p><p><br></p><p>Fly Like A Bird - Mariah Carey </p><p><br></p><p>Heaven- Beyonce </p><p><br></p><p>One Sweet Day - Mariah Carey, Boyz II Men </p>
