The Mary Mac Show | Coronavirus | Dealing with Fear and the Unknown

Leave a comment

The Mary Mac Show PodcastWhen we began 2020 never could we have anticipated that such a pandemic would affect not only the people of our entire country but other countries around the world.

The news is swimming with all the difficult statistics about how many people have become infected and have died.

We are encouraged, at this point, to self-contain in our own homes, be prepared with food, water, medicine and other necessities for each member of our family.

Schools are closed, events have been cancelled, most are working remotely from home. We are forced to learn how to live in small quarters with our entire family, while others who live alone are working at staying connected for their mental health.

In Episode 16, we discuss the fear and circumstances surrounding the Coronavirus and how we can cope during these unprecedented times.

Since so much of what we are dealing with can be helped by tapping or EFT/The Emotional Freedom Technique, I explain the incredible need to learn this skill.

Visit Brad Yates’ youtube channel to not only learn it for yourself, but teach every member of your family so they relieve their emotional pain during this time and beyond.

And if you haven’t already done so, listen in to both Episode 1 and 4, to help you learn how to focus in on what you can be grateful for, instead of negativity which will decrease your immune system. And we don’t need that.

Sending Huge Hugs! Be well!

Most people who want to assist in some way a bereaved friend or relative, think they are saying the correct thing. But many times, the words they use can be hurtful and damaging to them.

They are already in enough pain and are counting on you not to make it worse.

The Mary Mac Show | Emotional Challenges | Loneliness and Isolation

Leave a comment

The Mary Mac Show PodcastOne of the most difficult aspects of the grieving process is when we deal with loneliness, feeling alone and isolation to protect ourselves from further pain.

In Episode 13, we differentiate between being lonely and feeling alone. We can be around many people but still, inside, we feel alone.

As our grieving process proceeds, we sometimes believe it’s better to isolate ourselves because so many people just don’t understand what we are going through. They haven’t experienced the death of a spouse, parent, child or sibling. So they just can’t feel what you’re feeling.

Sometimes they don’t follow through on visiting us or doing something for us that they promised to do and we wonder why.

But at some point, whether we like it or not, we need to slowly move from our place of isolation and build a new life for ourselves. And even though that is so unfair, it is very unhealthy to linger in the pity-party stage.

Listen to Episode 13, so you can better understand these emotions and what to do to help yourself.

The Mary Mac Show | Emotional Challenges | Guilt and Regret

Leave a comment

The Mary Mac Show PodcastIn Episode 11, we discuss the guilt and regret we feel after a loved one’s death and how to help soothe ourselves using the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT).

Some of the most painful emotions during the grieving process are dealing with those which we can’t change or make right. They may be real for us, or sometimes imagined.

But, nonetheless, they are still there and must be dealt with otherwise we carry a burden for months, maybe years, and feel there is no way to resolve it.

The Emotional Freedom Technique is an amazing way to help ourselves release this pain and other emotions so we can move forward during our journey.

There is no reason we must feel so burdened or stress any longer.
