- I intend to connect with supportive loved ones: This intention could involve reaching out to friends and family for emotional support, attending grief support groups, or seeking professional counseling.
- I intend to honor my loved one's memory: This intention might involve creating a memorial or tribute, participating in activities that were meaningful to the loved one, or engaging in acts of service in their memory.
- I intend to embrace my emotions: This intention encourages individuals to allow themselves to feel their emotions and to process their grief in a healthy and constructive way. It may involve seeking therapy or support from grief counselors.
Remember, setting intentions is a personal process, and it is essential to choose intentions that resonate with your unique healing journey. Allow your intentions to guide you, but also be gentle with yourself as healing takes time and patience.
