Personally, I think multitasking in a bid to support my short term needs/responsibilities is my main limiting factor. I just find myself shifting from pursuing the bigger goal in favour of many smaller tasks to meet my personal responsibilities which has kept me moving in circles. I hope I can put into practice the knowledge shared herin. Thank you for taking time to compile this great article.

Hi Brenda,

Condolences to you and your family; I'm sorry to read about your loss. I am glad this blog post was able to help you in some way. I've located another RESOURCE here that may be able to help you. Please read it when you have time.

Are you able to connect with any local medical or social service agencies that support residents with grief management? Taking things one step at a time can lower anxiety as well. Please let us know if you have questions. Take it easy.

I thought about all you said and it all made sense. My biggest decline is that my husband died 7 months ago and at the end of your article was my problem, the benefit of completing a goal. I glam have having a hard time seeing how anything is going to matter for more than a few minutes when I am all alone. It is hard to complete a task when I cannot see the benefit. I am lost.

I keep going because I know I can do the things I enjoy.. getting fresh air, doing my hair and makeup, brushing my teeth, eating and taking care of myself. Doing yoga too. All these things help me to keep going and gives me energy. I know sometimes I get bored and don’t know what to do but thats okay and it’s okay to rest and take breaks. I don’t want to give up on myself or my life because I know that I am not going to be a quitter. I want to be someone who preservers and maybe good will come from me staying and maybe if I keep going someday it will all pay off.

I could also find new answers and solutions to my problems too you never know. I know there’s a lot of uncertainty but I think I keep going because I know that there is hope..

There’s hope that things could go well and that I could move on and live life to the fullest.

There’s hope that I could learn something new or experience joy or have an adventure

There’s hope that something I find cool or creative or fun could come my way. I believe that when you hold on and keep preserving that good things will come to you..

They might not and that’s okay too.
