74. Sunlight on the eyes

Trick is not through glasses or glass though can be through closed eyelids. 20 to 30 min 3 times a week can really help brighten emotions. Sunlight that way helps make setotonin. Since it's natural the only slight risk is cataracts later on. A study was done in Japan on the long lived and cataracts were universal beyond typical occurance in that cohort. Cataract surgery has gotten amazing as of late so just get eye checkups as that comes on gradually.

Yes you are at increased risk for even death during this first 6 months as your whole routine and most significant emotional support is gone now. And those stages of grief dont always go in order or in a forward direction.

Please take care, my Mom was windowed when I was 11, so I was a way for her to keep moving with life. My Mom found a widow's group helped her that first year.

Keep posting here. Happiness shared is doubled, Sadness shared is halved. That is traditional wisdom.
