“Every morning at breakfast, or whenever you have consistent time together, cultivate a family practice of gratitude. It can be simple: “Today, I’m grateful the sun is out.” “I’m grateful that I’m healthy.” “I’m grateful that I get to see my best friend tonight.” If you’re not together, text with her about it, or do it on the phone. A reminder of what she has can help mitigate the longing for what she doesn’t.”
