Fourth Anniversary | The Mary Mac Show | Dec 8 2023

Today marks the fourth-year anniversary of The Mary Mac Show podcast and I wanted to share the celebration with all my listeners around the world in 109 countries. Listen here!

We are thrilled that so many individuals from various backgrounds and cultures have graced us with their presence to learn more about how we can grieve the death of a loved one.

Our Mary Mac Journal Collection is also available for yourself or as gifts to others at this season. “My Journal” “My Grief Journal” “My Gratitude Journal” and “My Remembrance Journal” all help us as we go through this season of our life. Please visit amazon for all my books and journals – https://www.amazon.com/author/marymac

During this past year we held three podcast series – Bereaved Mothers, Grieving Children who lost parents young in life and Death By Fentanyl, parents sharing stories of the sudden deaths of their children to fentanyl, an opioid that has killed over 100,000 young people in the US alone in just 2022. They also share their advocacy work to bring awareness to this scourge so others won’t be harmed by it.

We would be very grateful for your subscription on Spotify, Apple and on YouTube to bring greater exposure to our work.

Everyone, at some time, will endure the death of a loved one, and need this information, education and comfort.

Meanwhile, I’d like to thank all my dedicated listeners around the world.

The Mary Mac Show | Honoring Our Loved Ones on their Birthday and Anniversary of their Death

The Mary Mac Show Podcast

In this week’s episode we look at how we can help ourselves as we approach their birthday and the anniversary of their death each year.

In the first several years, this can be a source of dread, panic and anxiety mostly because you aren’t sure how you will handle it, what you will do, what plans you should make, if any, and what the world, your family and even yourself expects on these days.

You might be surprised to learn the thoughts in our head leading up to that day may have trumped what will really happen for you.

We have these images in our head and often the day of their birthday or anniversary is not as horrific as you made it out to be.

So be kind to yourself and listen in to Episode 44 to learn various ways you can help yourself as you approach their special days.

Leave your comments below.

Additional Notes:

Learn EFT, the Emotional Freedom Technique with Brad Yates.

Consider making a contribution in honor of your loved one to The Foundation for Grieving Children, Inc.  Your one-time or monthly recurring donation will help young ones, teens and their families learn to cope and recover from the death of a loved one early in life.

Meditation Videos to help you rest. Choose which resonate with you.

Grab my free ebook, 21 Things You Need to Know About the Grieving Process, right here on my site.

Also, I hope you will help support my podcast by using the links on the site. It would be much appreciated.

Please share with anyone you know who might benefit from this knowledge. Also subscribe to my podcast on whichever podcast platform you listened in.

When the Memories Flow, Even Years Later

Grandma and DaisyThis Saturday will be the 20th Anniversary of my beloved grandmother’s death at the age of 93. And I still think of her often and I miss her.

I miss her when things get tough and she’d remind me how strong I was. She’d be there to snuggle up against, just as I remember I would as a young child.

There are so many wonderful memories with her…driving to Jones Beach for dinner and her favored Manhattans. Who said 90 year-old grandmothers are not allowed to indulge too! Or the time we bought a plant of silk violets and her roommate watered them thinking they were real. Or how she would hold my little Shih-Tsu Daisy and talk to her on the terrace, as pictured here. They just loved each other so much.

As time goes on, we never forget those who loved us and whom we loved, no matter how long it’s been since they have died or were killed. Love doesn’t leave us, just because they have.

Actually, I think it remains in our spirit and is embedded within our soul. The best part is death can never take those feelings from us. Nor can anyone else.

We may fill the void with other new people who enter our lives, but the special bond we shared can never be exactly replaced.

They were unique. Our relationship was one of a kind. And even twenty years later, I smile at the wonderful times we shared, re-read the notes I found in storage which she would send to me at college. Look at the pictures, reminisce from time to time.

The sting of grief is no longer there. But the memories and the love will stay with me forever.

Understanding Your Grieving Heart After a Loved One’s Death will help you on your journey. Tell me your experiences and memories by sharing a comment.
