Hi Chloe - I too think these are a good idea. I am finding that if i defy my mood i can lift my spirits. When its not too cold , i like to go into the garden and do some weeding. Seeing even just a small patch of bed clear of weeds is pleasing. There is certainly much to do.
I wonder if anyone else here is gardening to lift their spirits. Now there's a good question .

Hi Greyone,
So good to hear from you.
I totally agree and it has so many benefits doesn't it? but how do you 'defy your mood'? that's what I and many others have a problem with <3
Chloe
I agree it is very difficult. But i take little steps. Weeding my little herb corner up to the great challenge of the hedges. Each time i achieve a little thing it makes me feel buoyant. Tomorrow when I'm shopping i must remember to buy some herb seeds and off we go.
Do you have green fingers Chloe ?

That's good advice Greyone
I like to think I have, and it really gives me a sense of achievement and peace just looking out at the results. I must admit, I'm getting itchy feet to get outside and start but it's frosty still some mornings.
I only have a small area now but I love it <3

Hi Luna-child. I’m a qualified counsellor and CRUSE qualified counsellor too. I’d be happy to help with anything?
Hi
I saw your reference to CRUSE. I did google it because I had never heard of it. I'm just curious what credentials are needed for this. Is it an advanced degree to specialize in bereavement counseling?

Hi Dolphin14. It is an internal course run by CRUSE bereavement care and is recognised by those working with the bereaved but is not a ‘degree’ or such. If you’re interested in this work, you would need to contact your local CRUSE and volunteer with them. I went on to do the supervisors course with them also. The organisation is fantastic and they run all sorts os other courses relevant to their volunteers. I definitely recommend it…Hx
Thank you for taking the time to explain. I appreciate that.
Is it strictly UK based? I'm USA
You’re welcome…….and yes, I’m afraid they are a UK based charity. Not sure whether there’s a US equivalent….
Hello Eleni,
As already mentioned, we are not allowed to offer personal Services here or advertise.
Many thanks
Chloe
oh apologies.. I hadn’t thought mentioning a bereavement organisation would count as ‘advertising’ but completely understand.
I thought you must be…..and expected that would be the case. All the same, happy to help if you have a need.xx
My late dad passed away from terminal lung cancer due to smoking in March 2019 aged just 63 years old.I'm a daddy's and nanna's girl (my nanna, my late dad's late mum) passed away when I was still in primary school.
I was heartbroken when she passed away as I knew that I would never see her kind and loving face or feel her loving arms around me and feel her gentle kiss on my cheek again.
I was completely devastated and heartbroken when my dad passed away as not only did I lose my dad, but my daughter never got to meet her birth granddad.
I'm really sorry to read this @Sophiesmum290902
That's always so sad, I remember the loving ouch of my Nan and all the memories too, they are so precious <3
