The Mary Mac Show | Handling Loneliness and Isolation

The Mary Mac Show Podcast

In Episode 119, we discuss how we can feel overwhelming loneliness and isolation after a loved one’s death and how to help ourselves through these difficult times.

Often times when we feel so badly and we don’t believe people understand our pain, we tend to isolation simply because it’s easier.

But what we don’t understand is that we are creating a loneliness that lingers.

We create a world where we keep pushing people out and not socializing.

In this episode, we discuss how to move out of those places and start to look at rebuilding our life.

You might feel it is too hard.

But it’s important for your mental and physical health that you not remain isolated, stuck and stagnant.

Bless you my friend.

The Mary Mac Show | Handling Guilt and Regret

The Mary Mac Show PodcastIn Episode 118, we look at how guilt and regret can affect us after a loved one’s death and learn how to help comfort and soothe ourselves.

Depending on the relationship you had with the person who died, there might be some guilt and regret you feel that needs to be worked through.

You might have wished you had more time to work through all the pain and conflict you had with that person. But that time never happened.

You might have expected that disagreements would have worked themself out.

Never did you believe you wouldn’t have the time to set things straight with that person or persons.

You always thought there would be more time.

But now they are gone, and that opportunity is now lost.

And you wonder what you can do for yourself to help you through this pain.

In this episode, I speak about various ways to help yourself through the guilt and regret.

The Mary Mac Show | Handling Anger

The Mary Mac Show Podcast

In Episode 117, we discuss how we deal with anger and the numerous individuals whom we still feel anger with including the person who died.

Not everyone feels anger toward anyone when they’ve experienced a loved one’s death.

But many do.

They feel anger at the entire situation.

They feel anger at how their life has changed because of the death.

They feel anger at the person who left them.

They feel anger at people who affected the one who died.

They may even have anger at themselves for what they think they did or did not do.

Yet, often, the people you might be feeling anger at don’t even know you harbor this against them.

So the person hurting is you. And only you.

Please listen in to this week’s episode so you can gain more knowledge about this issue.

Bless you my friend.
xoxo

Mary Mac Featured in Tuscawilla Today | February 2022

In January, the editor of Tuscawilla Today interviewed me about my work with the bereaved and my accomplishments over the last thirty-five years.

It was a wonderful afternoon with Elaine Johnson, its Editor and her husband, Ted. I was very grateful for their time.

The feature came out beautifully and was written so well.

Below is the two page piece, which I’m very happy to share with my listeners of The Mary Mac Show and those on my mailing list.

If you didn’t know much about me, perhaps you’ll take a few minutes to learn more about my life, its twists and turns and how I came to be involved in bereavement in the first place.

Thank you my Warriors for your continued support of my work.

Would love your comments below!

The Mary Mac Show | Handling Stress

The Mary Mac Show Podcast

In Episode 116, we discuss how stress affects us after a loved one’s death and ways we can help ourselves.

Whether our beloved died suddenly or we anticipated their death, we are left with great stress and anxiety in dealing with not only their death and that they will no longer be in our lives, but we must make many decisions about their funeral, burial and maybe even a memorial service.

Later we will need to make decisions about our new life without them.

Will you need to move houses, cities, counties, even countries?

What is your financial situation?

Will you need to move in with other family?

How do you handle their estate?

All of these issues bring stress and anxiety and we must learn how to deal with all these things when they arise.

One of the most effective ways is through the Emotional Freedom Technique which helps you to release much of the overwhelm. You will see the link below.

Our world has changed now.

And it will never be the same.

It is important that we learn EFT to help us through many difficult days.

Managing our good health is paramount when so much is happening.

Bless you my friend.
xoxo
