Be open to the unknown, to ambiguity, to gratitude. Kristin Meekhof writes on mariashriver.com about what you can do to establish a sense of control and purpose after a devastating loss.
"Observe your thoughts. Begin to monitor this. Don’t judge your thoughts, just observe. Our thoughts influence our actions. And many times, we are unaware of what we are thinking until we begin to observe our thoughts. You may be in the habit of negative self talk, and you don’t even realize that you engage in this behavior several times a day. You can’t change something that you are not aware of, so getting an accurate picture of your thoughts is important.

10 Things You Can Do To Create The Life You Want After Any Loss
You have come to the right place, and we are glad you are here. This is a safe place to share stories of love and loss, devastating grief, exhausting care-giving, memorials, advanced directives, mourning, hope, and despair. We want to hear about about what you wish you had known or done differently, what you wish those around you had known or done differently, and what went right. We will never tell you to move on or find closure. "What cannot be said will be wept." Sappho
