#43: Committing to Running Again After Sam's Death: How I Started, 3 Immediate Benefits, and 3 Tips to Starting Our Interests/Sports/Hobbies Again During Grief
Running was an activity I could always count on before Sam died. For nearly 40 years, I had run through anxiety, depression, stress, and most other difficult times. It had always provided me with solace, energy, adventure, and a clear mind.
After Sam died, I could not run. I would have expected it to be something that would help me and instead, I was terrified of it. Starting over, the heavy breathing, the facing of life on the trail. All of it. I could not do it.
A few weeks ago, however, I decided to start again. In this episode, I discuss why and how I have begun the process of starting over again, 3 benefits I have received in 2 short weeks, and 3 suggestions for starting back up with a passion, hobby, interest, or sport after losing a son or daughter.
