The holiday season can be difficult for people who have lost loved ones. So I am calling on all of my compassionate people to H.E.L.P.
What’s H.E.L.P.?
It stands for Handholding, Encourage and Love People.
How does it work?
It’s simple. Find someone who has lost a loved one within the last year or 24 months and don’t let them go through the holiday alone. H.E.L.P. will run from Nov 8 –Jan 8 (60 days).
The number 8 is New Beginnings and we want people to go into the New Year feeling like they can make it and feeling encouraged.
What does it entail?
That’s simple to.
Contact someone you know and let them know what you are doing and how long you are doing it for (so if you stop, they won’t be surprised).
At least once a week make contact with them to see how they are doing, how they are feeling or just to cheer them.
What Activities can I do?
- Take them to lunch
- Email an encouraging note
- Mail a card or Ecard
- Send a link to a funny video
- Go for a walk with them
- Post something great about them (with their permission of course)
- Call and chat
- Call and listen
- Create something together
- Send a text
You can post what you did on my twitter, linkedin or website with the # H.E.L.P. I will repost the first three (or more).
So, let me know what you do to H.E.L.P.
