  1. Live what is true for you, while honoring others’ experiences.
  2. Direct feelings into action via focused physical release.

  6. Find and read a daily quote of inspiration.

  8. Practice breathing deeply and slowly. 
  9. Allow for progressing forward and falling backward.
  10. Act from your heart without dependence on the outcome. 

Nurturing Oneself After a Homicide

Peace does not have to be stopping, giving up or even acceptance of an unsolved homicide. It is determining and living your well-being in the unending storm.

"We must accept finite disappointment but never lose infinite hope."

                                                                                                                               Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
