 All this COVID-19 stuff may be impacting how your grief feels and looks. Are you finding it harder to concentrate, feeling more physical symptoms, feeling anxious or extra stressed, feeling hopeless, depressed, angry or shocked? These are all totally normal responses in grief and in reaction to a global health crisis like we are experiencing. I encourage you to really take it easy on yourself and allow all the feelings to arise, sit with them, breathe and let them flow through you without judgement. You can do this. You are doing this. We can do this together. We will get to the other side.

I have only slipped away to the next room. I am I and you are you. Whatever we were to each other, That, we still are. Call me by my old familiar name. Speak to me in the easy way which you always used. Put no difference into your tone. Wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow. Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes, we enjoyed together. Play, smile, think of me. Pray for me. Let my name be ever the household word that it always was. Let it be spoken without effect. Without the trace of a shadow on it. Life means all that it ever meant. It is the same that it ever was. There is absolute unbroken continuity. Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight? I am but waiting for you. For an interval. Somewhere. Very near. Just around the corner. All is well.  Treasure Wellness Counseling and Training Center Grief & Loss Support Group

(20S-HIS-003) - $25 Registration Fee Tuesday, April 28, 2020 from 5:30 - 8:30 pm Cloverdale Funeral Home - Event Center Cloverdale Funeral Home, Cemetery and Creation 1200 North Cloverdale Road, Boise, Idaho 83713 Spend the evening with Cemetery Historian David Habben. Using hundreds of photos of grave stones taken by the instructor, you will learn the secret language of tomb stones. Learn how to interpret the cryptic emblems, signs & symbols found on grave stones. Many of our ancestors were illiterate. Signs and symbols are the universal language of grave stones. They tell us if the deceased was male or female; religious; belonged to a fraternal organization; was well loved; or even if he or she had a sense of humor, all without knowing how to read. We'll even discuss the history of cemeteries, burial customs, symbolism and even a little humor! https://www.facebook.com/events/132254448204011/ Register starting March 29, 2020 at https://www.boiselearns.org/wconnect/ShowSchedule.awp?&Mode=GROUP&Group=:FULL&Title=Complete+Listing  Who Lies Beneath - Famous People Buried in the Treasure Valley (20S-HIS-004) - $20 Registration Fee Tuesday, May 12, 2020 at 6:30 – 8:30 pm Cloverdale Funeral Home - Event Center Cloverdale Funeral Home, Cemetery and Creation 1200 North Cloverdale Road, Boise, Idaho 83713.

But we don't have to worry about the weather or walking for miles!
