What's on your calendar for April? Looking ahead for significant days and planning strategies to celebrate or simply survive is a healthy choice during grief. If it's the anniversary of your loved one's passing, perhaps his birthday, your wedding anniversary, or any other of many possibilities decide now if you want to mark the day or downplay it. Consider others in your choice, especially if you have children. You might like to release some helium balloons to heaven, fly kites, have a birthday cake picnic, etc. so give it some thought. Mention it to friends and talk about how you feel. Caring friends will feel more comfortable knowing if you'd like to talk; we'd always like for people to be sensitive to us and remember our special days, but they can't read our mind, and its hard to keep up with everyone.
Besides personal days, Palm Sunday, Passover, Good Friday and Easter might be especially meaningful this year. There's also Secretary Day and Take Your Daughter to Work Day in April, to name a few. And there are just plain goofy days, so mark these down if you need an excuse to joke around. A quick Google search will score many more, so if you find some that tickle your funny bone, please share your favorites in the comments today!
