Victory over anxiety today
Victory over anxiety today
My grandmother's memorial service was today. It's been a month since she passed away, but she was cremated and the family waited until everyone could be there to honor her. With family members coming in from France, Canada, and all over the USA, it was quite the event. I was very anxious in the days and weeks leading up to the event. And considering this was a ceremony to mark the passing of a very important person in my life, it made it even more painful.
But I have been taking steps to combat my anxiety. I've been to my doctor twice this month. I exercise every morning. I eat proper foods. Reduce caffeine intake. Quit smoking. Meditate. And per my doctor's advice, I continued to work on all these steps daily, even this morning before the service.
And I am happy to report that all went well. My grandmother was not the only person laid to rest today. I was also able to bury and put to rest many of my anxiety issues. I am thankful for all the support here over the last few months, and feeling hopeful that I am rounding the corner. I am also glad that I was able to be there for my family, and play a valuable support role of my own during this hard time.
