#griefjournals #grief #healingIn Episode 257, I share my Journal Collection to help you heal, vent, release your anger, frustration, anxiety in anticipation of or the death of a significant loved one in your life.It's so important not to allow all your emotions to remain harbored inside only to manifest themselves into physical and mental symptoms. Anticipating the death of a loved one or after someone has died can be one of the most difficult experiences of your life. Every one of us deals with our grief in a different way. But if we are to survive this pain, we need to release it along the way. We can't disregard it or hold it in.That's why I created these journals so you can always have a way to comfort yourself by writing it all out.They come in a set of four - 'my journal' - 'my grief journal' - my gratitude journal' - and 'my remembrance journal'.Pick up a set or a few at https://www.amazon.com/author/marymacAnd these are a great gifts for those in your life who are also grieving and struggling.You can watch the video version here - https://youtu.be/T28dChO54j8Please share this episode with others who could benefit from it.#journals #marymacjournals #grief #myjournal #mygriefjournal #mygratitudejournal #myremembrancejournal #grieving #death #dying #journalsbymarymac #marymacjournalcollection #themarymacshowjournalcollectionPlease help to support my channel - Donate (paypal.com)My websites: Our Main Hub - https://www.MaryMac.infoMy Podcast Website - <a href="https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&amp;redir_token=QUFFLUhqa1JfUDF3Ql9Zb2U2cXlaYnpBWHljc3ZXMlBod3xBQ3Jtc0trWnBLUEpKNTNxQXdmdW9CNTIwREI1b1Y3bkN5M25naEktdWdZZUhjU0t2MzFPdklJR3RBX3BYTGMwd2dOTzJSTTg5YVlQU2xwa3hsSklJblZZLXNibXJKcm50dk1KTnNIeHpZOWFQUS1fOVRwY0x4dw&amp;q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.TheMaryMacShow.com%2F&amp;v=cE1fUOqcu3k" rel="noopener...

#voting #electionday #votenovember5thIn Episode 255, I discuss the importance of voting in this US election. The last four years have turned our country into something unrecognizable. Do you really want another 4 years of this nightmare?Illegal immigrants being granted all sorts of benefits at the expense of American citizens and Veterans; the possibility of wars on our own soil and a draft of your children; inflation so high we can barely keep up; our jobs disappearing; mortgage and rent skyrocketing; homeless at an all time high; lawlessness in all major cities because the mayors have ordered the police to stand down and not arrest those breaking the law, looting the stores; the border patrol ordered to stand down and just let anyone to cross illegally into our country. It's such a mess.Vote as if your life depends on it...because it does. Can we possibly survive another 4 years like this?Do your research!President Donald J.
