The Mary Mac Show | Dealing with Guilt and Regret

Leave a comment

The Mary Mac Show Podcast

In Episode 96, we discuss the guilt and regret we might feel 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 felt you had more time to talk to them perhaps about a conflict in the past.

You might regret that something you disagreed upon would work itself out.

But now they are gone, and you won’t be getting that chance.

And you wonder what you can do to soothe this wound you now deal with.

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

Take the time to use the links to EFT in the show notes below.

And, especially, be kind to yourself.

Bless you my friend.
xoxo

The Mary Mac Show Podcast

In Episode 95, we discuss the various individuals we feel anger toward after a loved one’s death and ways to handle it.

Not everyone who is grieving with feel anger.

But of those who do, it can range from mild to seriously significant.

This anger can actually severely affect the bereaved’s emotional, mental and physical health.

You might be one of them.

And if you are, I want you to take your anger very seriously because we don’t want you to become ill from this.

Yes, you might believe you have a right to feel this way for one reason or another.

But, often, the person you’re feeling anger at, doesn’t even know how mad you might be at 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

The Mary Mac Show | Dealing with Stress

Leave a comment

The Mary Mac Show Podcast

In Episode 93, we look at how stress affects us during the grieving process and techniques that will help us bring calm to our lives.

When we are grieving, many survivors deal with stress as their lives unravel and uncertainty takes hold.

What they knew as their life before, is no longer there for them.

Whether they lost a husband, wife, father, mother, sister, brother, daughter, son or other significant person in their life, life as they once knew it will never be the same.

And so stress starts to creep up and confusion takes over as they try to figure out what needs to be done for the funeral, for their family, for themselves to survive this tragedy.

Whether the person was ill and expected to die, or was taken in an accident, sudden death or violence, their world has changed and it will take a long time to regroup and find a new way to live day by day.

In this episode we speak about how to handle stress as we make our way through the fog and beyond.

There is so much to do. So many decisions.

With help and time, these will be made.

But it is imperative to manage your stress so you can safely move through these times with your health.

Bless you my friend.
xoxo

9/11, Homicide, Terrorism, The Mary Mac Show

The Mary Mac Show | 9/11 – 20 Years Later

Leave a comment

In Episode 92, we remember the morning of September 11, 2001, the deadliest terrorist attack in world history and the first on American soil.

For those of us old enough to remember, this was the darkest day in American history as we watched in utter horror as four planes were used as missiles to wreak terror on our nation.

People watched in lower Manhattan as both buildings of the World Trade Center were attacked and within hours imploded killing thousands.

Many jumped to their deaths from 100 stories or more because they couldn’t breathe from the smoke and flames.

Nearly three-thousand people died that day from 90 countries. And many more over the years from those like the Fire Department of New York and the New York Police Department who succumbed to cancers breathing in the toxic fumes from the ‘pile’ they worked on to rescue and recover victims.

The FDNY, the Fire Department of New York, lost 343 trying to save others.

That day is marked in all our minds by most of us alive on September 11, 2001. It is a day where we all knew exactly where we were. And most of us were glued to our television sets.

We will carry those memories forever.

Those who were in the buildings and made it out, lost many friends and grieve for their losses along with the victims’ families.

Those who were too young to even know what this was like, below you will see video footage compiled so we never forget.

And yes it’s graphic…that’s life. This is real life. It happened. People lived through this.

And for those who have claimed a single photo ‘triggered’ them, well it’s time to get a backbone because what’s ahead for our country is not good.

We have welcomed thousands of Afghan refugees and have no idea if they are terrorists. The chances of this happening again are high.

Here are the scenes of what happened that day:

Here is the memorial today where the towers once stood:

Bless everyone who died that day and the families and friends of those victims.

Take the time to listen to the names being read each year on 9/11 to honor them.

We must never forget!
