When your life changes, it leaves you with many questions.
How do I move forward and heal?
We all have a story we imagine about our lives until that story changes. Then confusion, uncertainty, and grieving the loss of the dream sets in. And in those quiet moments, you feel alone and scared about the future. I understand this because my story changed. My husband passed away six years ago from Alcoholism. When he came to me and told me he was sick I knew my life had changed. In that moment, I thought we could fix it but it was not to be. Like you, I had all the emotions and questions about what was to come next.
It can leave you feeling physically exhausted...
All of your feelings of anxiety, loneliness, exhaustion and not being able to move forward are normal. It is your reaction to the grief and trauma you have experienced that is too overwhelming for you to process all at once. You may feel like you have lost your sense of self. There is a path to healing. It starts with understanding the past that is deeply connected and then beginning a new path to create the life you dream of.
FIRST GATHER WHAT YOU KNOW
The gathering begins as you pull together all of the information you have from the attic, boxes and dusty drawers including letters and photographs. Some families will have great documentation already and some may have almost none. Where ever you are there will be more to discover. This is just the starting point but truly helps identify the questions you have about your family story and history.
RESEARCH
When you have gathered what you have found, your story is already beginning. We will look at it together for accuracy. If it is based on Aunt Martha’s memory, I may need to be sure the information is correct. If it is based on historical documents, we will know it is a great place to start further research. If you do not know anything about your family, do not be concerned there are many ways to discover your story.
UNDERSTAND THE MANY RESEARCH TOOLS AVAILABLE
The Tools I use to confirm that accuracy of information and continue the research are the many genealogy databases and websites that are available. My expertise in understanding each database and what it has to offer, is the way I find additional information about your family's journey. There are many amazing stories told from the small details contained in a census and birth or death record. I am also able to use the DNA as a genealogy tool if you are interested in testing. If you have adoption in your family there are ways to discover information about your ancestry.
PRESERVE YOUR STORY
Now that your story has been captured, let's share and preserve it. There are many choices in preserving the family story for generations to come. Keeping a family tree through an online platform or software program that can include historical documents, personal photos and private stories is one of the most common ways to preserve the memories. But there are also many other options we can explore and several genealogy products available including charts and books and other types of media.
