The Mary Mac Show | Remembering The Good

The Mary Mac Show Podcast

In Episode 151, we discuss how we remember our loved ones who have died and the need to look at the good instead of the sorrowful memories.

After the death of a loved one, we spending a great amount of energy as we deal with our pain and sorrow.

And as the years go by, we may find ourselves still stuck in that state.

Yet, it’s not physically and emotionally healthy to allow ourselves to do this.

One way to help us lift ourselves up is to remember the good about the person we loved.

Remember the special moments with them.

Release more of the difficult, painful memories you had with them so you can feel lighter.

Everything that you shared together is in the past and while it’s hard to hear, nothing will change that relationship.

All you can do is take the time to remember the softer moments, fun times, the happier times.

If you do what I recommend at the end of each podcast, to write 5 things each night in your gratitude journal, you will soon see that you feel better.

You will see that your outlook on life lifts for the better.

Right now, with everything that is going on in the world, and add to that your bereavement, it is very important that you do this.

Take the time you need to uplift yourself each day by journaling and remembering moments in your relationship that you are grateful for.

Remember to be good to yourself, my warrior. Let others help you.

Learning To Love Ourselves | The Mary Mac Show

The Mary Mac Show Podcast

This week, in Episode 150, we discuss how we can learn to love ourselves and allow others to love us through the pain of losing a loved one.

When we first experienced the death of a loved one, we are embraced by many people, usually at the end of their life, if they were ill and later at the funeral services that are developed.

Some may even stay with you for a week or so, while you get acclimated to functioning without them.

But you quickly learn that when they leave, you aren’t settled at all.

You struggle to balance a new life for yourself and your grief. That is part of the process.

You go through many emotional and physical challenges, maybe even financial challenges which take you down several roads, some of which you might not want to encounter.

But through all of this, there will come a time when you have to take the focus off of them and put it back on you.

You are entitled to love yourself through all this pain.

To recognize that no matter what is happening YOU ARE ENOUGH just the way you are.

One of my favorite teachers is Marissa Peer who teaches us that we are enough at every place in our life.

And it is this wisdom that will help you along your journey because it’s important that we not stay stuck in grief forever.

Some people do this and decide that if our loved one is not with us any longer, they can no long have a wonderful life.

And I don’t want that for you.

Please don’t wear the black veil forever.

And, I know, you won’t be physically wearing it on your head, but you know you’re wearing it over your heart.

Let others love you.

Let yourself love you!

No matter what happened, and how they died, at some point consciously take off that veil and tell your loved one you love them and it’s now time for you.

Bless you my friend, my warrior!

xoxo

Understanding The Power of Faith | The Mary Mac Show

The Mary Mac Show Podcast

In Episode 149, we discuss how to use faith to help us as we navigate through the uncertainties of life.

No matter what you think of God, it always amazes me that when a person has difficulty or is in shock over something that happened in their life, they will usually say “Oh My God!”

I believe that inherently we know where we’ve come from. And that is the God, the Creator who formed us.

As me move into this uncertain world ahead, I want you to become stronger in your faith so you can weather the storms that are on the horizon.

Now you may not believe in God, or you might be so angry with Him for what He did or didn’t do when it came to the death of your loved one.

But no matter how you feel, the comfort He can provide is unlike anything a human can give.

So listen in to Episode 149 and learn how to use your faith to get you through the death of your loved one and the crises that are coming our way.

Bless you my friend.
xoxo

Preparing For An Uncertain Future | The Mary Mac Show

The Mary Mac Show Podcast

In Episode 148, we discuss the uncertainties in our world, inflation, home and food prices, unstable governments, and how we must reevaluate what is important to us and how to cope when we have little control over our new world.

The world we once knew is no longer available to us.

We will never see the way we lived in 2019 again.

And you might be feeling overwhelmed and upset that we have to deal with all this when we are also grieving for that special person in our lives.

It’s just so unfair.

But we can no longer act like this is not happening.

People who hold the power in governments have created these scenarios, mostly for their own gain and benefit.

They weren’t interested in helping their citizens have a better life.

Instead they have an agenda they wish to see played out and it’s hurting all of us.

And we’ll see get even worse in the months to come.

In Episode 148, I want to help you better understand what is upon us and consider ways to help you become stronger in mind, body, spirit and knowledge.

Bless you, my Warrior!

Using Prayer to Gain Peace | The Mary Mac Show

The Mary Mac Show Podcast

In Episode 147, we discuss the power of prayer in our lives after we’ve experienced the death of a loved one and how it can give us peace as we move through our grieving process.

Now you may be thinking “really…will this work?”

Well if you’ve never used prayer to bring you peace, especially when you feel like all hell is breaking loose around you, then I’d say “Yes…give it a try. You have nothing to lose.”

Now in this day and age, many think that it’s not necessary or ‘cool’ to attend church on Sundays, or watch an online service wherever you are.

It can be as easy as clicking a few buttons on your television remote and you can tap into almost any service you’d like to try.

Not all pastors or leaders may resonate with you; so find another.

But the significance of prayer itself is that it is a way of communicating, talking to God one on one.

It’s a conversation.

It’s a relationship.

And you can do it anywhere you are.

When you are in such pain, either because you’re missing the one you love, or because you need direction in life since they died, or because you are confused as to why all of this is happening, wouldn’t it be calming to speak with the creator of the universe?

Now your family and friends may be think it’s a waste of time.

But you aren’t them.

You need comfort and a sense of calm in your life and that can come from a relationship with God.

He’s right there for you…you only need to reach out.

So take time today to listen in to Episode 147.

You might wonder if you’ll get anything out of it.

But I believe rebuilding or developing a prayer life will help you tremendously with your grief and with the uncertainties of life.

And yes you might be wrestling with your anger at God for what you think He did or didn’t do when your loved one died or was killed.

But flipping that around to gaining his peace, the peace that passes all understanding, is by far more comforting than handling all your emotions alone.

One of my favorite songs is “What a Beautiful Name.” I realize this is part of my faith, but it might really soothe you, regardless. When you realize it has 435 million views, it obviously resonates mightily with people around the world!

Bless you my friend.
xoxo
