Happily Even After: Getting Through (and Beyond) The Grief of Widowhood
(PRWEB) September 03, 2013
The fourth article in Carole Brody Fleet's "Bereavement Boot Camp" series recently appeared on Huffington Post. This article, "I Turn to... Who?" focuses on "Energy Drainers," people who make it harder to recover, and who are constantly negative.
Carole writes in this fourth installment, "Your time wasted traveling down Negativity Highway with the citizens of Bittertown and Angryville has just come to an end. It's finished. It's over with. You are done. The nature of loss and life challenge in and of itself is a negative experience; and while there is nothing we can do about the experience itself, we are in control of our reactions to the experience. This includes the people who we invite into—or dismiss from—our lives." Her advice in this article is to let go of negativity for a small time and instead try to live with positivity and only be around positive people.
Happily Even After is also available as an audiobook through Audible.
