In the spring and summer of 2020 here in the USA, we were going through an unprecedented lockdown which brought fear of the unknown to us.
At that time India had not yet heard of The Mary Mac Show.
But now, since my listeners in India have become my #2 audience in the world, only behind the USA, I wanted to reach out to the English speaking media in India to let them know that I had prepared many episodes on the coronavirus and how we are dealing with our grief when a loved one is dying or has died from this dreaded and sudden illness.
So I emailed 52 individual editors of newspapers in India and only one amazing lady saw the value of my work.
In Episode 74, we discuss the anxiety and stress our children and teens can face after a loved one’s death and how to help them deal with their difficulties and challenges.
Often times we think that children and teens do not have the same level of stress and anxiety as adults do in their grieving process.
But this is not the case.
Children and teens need to be attended to and supported while they are going through their own grieving process since, usually, they don’t understand what is going on with their emotional and physical challenges since the person has died.
It is important for adults to spend more time with their children and even young adults because it may be the first time they have experience a death and they need our love and attention.
Young children don’t have the language skills to describe what they are feeling and teens, often, don’t want to express themselves.
Listen in to Episode 74 to learn more about how children and teens deal with stress and how you can assist them during this very painful and perplexing time in their lives.

In Episode 71, we discuss how to alert your employer and colleagues of the death of a loved one and what to expect when you return to work.
Before we’ve had a significant loss, we usually don’t give it too much thought as to how we would handle such a tragedy with the people at work.
We go about our business and do our job as well as we can.
But when we experience someone’s death who is very dear to us, the situation at work can be somewhat strained and the way we deal with our boss and colleagues may become different than before.
In this episode, I delve deeply into this sensitive area of life.
Notification to your boss can be stressful so I speak frankly about how to handle this and how you may be treated when you return to work after the funeral and burial.
If this is the first time you’ve experienced the death of a loved one, you will want to listen in for tips on how to deal with your boss during this time.

In Episode 70, we look at Easter and Passover and how helping others, even though we ourselves are grieving, will uplift us while bringing joy to others.
After we’ve experienced a loved one’s death, we can be in despair, lonely and isolated, grief stricken beyond what we ever thought.
There are days when we hardly function and it takes all our efforts to move forward.
I get that! I do.
But this week, I’d like you to consider doing something nice for someone else.
Now I know you’re probably thinking “Mary, there is no way I can do that!”
But I’m asking this of you because you need to get out of your head. Out of thinking only about your loss.
When we take a little time to concentrate on the pain and isolation of someone else, we take the focus off ourselves.
And as crazy as that may sound, it will help you.
So listen in to Episode 70 and take the suggestions I give.
And please take a moment to rate and review my podcast at our new site – www.TheMaryMacShow.com.
Have a joyous Easter and wonderful Passover!
xoxo

In Episode 69, we look at major and minor decisions that should not be made immediately after a loved one’s death.
After we’ve experienced a loved one’s death, there are several things that we need to give further consideration to before we make those decisions.
Decisions such as whether to sell your home, whether to move, whether to consider a new job and so much more.
In this episode, we explore the emotional and practical sides of these decisions which need great care. The ramifications of making these decisions can affect not only you, but those who are also affected by their loved one’s death, and whose lives can be turned upside down because of how you handle things.
Take the time you need and listen in to Episode 69 for guidance.
Bless you, my friend. My warrior!
