Hi @CherryBomb
I think the tear jerker is a great idea. Often when I am struggling to cope I really need a good cry, because often grief is behind the struggle (holding too much grief inside).
I still need to watch these two films but a friend lent them to me as being child appropriate tear jerkers which are also good films:
Hachi A dog's Tale
The Notebook
One of my favourite Disney films (I'm not overly keen on a lot of them) is Brave, I watched it with my then 10yo when it came out. She was fine (apart from one scary bit where she snuggled up to me) and I cried 🙂
Kind regards,
Kristin

I would like to add this image as part of the Coping Box
Does anyone else have poems/Youtube clips/ quotes they would like to include in the Coping Box for members to use when they need it?

Here's a poem I wrote during the T-ACT course I did with ECASA a couple of years ago. I wrote it about the group, but it's about us here too - in fact every person.
Gifts
Are we:
black or white
male or female
left or right
straight or gay
up or down
broken or whole
slave or free
human or alien
theophile or atheist
agnostic, Christian,
Jew, Muslim, Hindu,
etcetera to eternity?
Or are these
Merely labels –
Boxes we strive to inhabit
At our own, or others’,
Volition
Whilst we foster
The courage
To open-heartedly
Become
Ourselves?
Surely this
Is the gift
We have to offer
To ourselves
Others
The world
God?
(However we name,
decry, or deny)
