I am not an expert in this, so I had to google and Pinterest Healing Ideas. I have learnt a few that is slowly helpinh with the healing process, which is actuallya lifelong journey and will only be finished when I die.

But here are some ideas I am currently practising:

- Journaling - my family made me a beautiful handmade journal filled with pages I wanted. It follows the Examen practices.

- Writing to Liam every night just to chat. We always did that when I got home from work and he would sit on the kitchen counter.

- Trauma and bereavement counselling. Luckily our councelor was also Liam's Educational Psychologist and he knew Liam very well and us for that matter as well. Liam was small and bullied often about his height and weight. He also had ADHD and sensory seeking issues.

- Attending church no matter how difficult it is to talk or listen to God.

- We continued to eat dinner at the table. Time to catch up. What was good and what was bad today.

- Having a schedule and structure. I am a planner and I need to know when and where things are happening. So does Raine and my husband.

- Planning Learning to Live opportunities by doing something fun and planning small getaways and holidays.

- I am continuing with my scouts team until they finish Voorslag in September. Liam would have wanted me to finish with them. Then we we will re-evaluate when they all go to high school.

- Exercising. It creates an opportunity to ged rid of some of the angst, terror, sadness and anger.

- Spending time with family and friends as much as we can so we can make more memories.

- Setting up rituals or continue practising old ones. Especially those ones Liam loved. We send up sky lanterns every 19th of each month to celebrate Liam's light.

There are tons more on the internet that you can try out and see what fits your skin. No-one can prescribe what you want to do and what can even out the pain somewhat.
